A hospice is giving its traditional summer fayre a Glastonbury-style makeover.

Mary Stevens Hospice in Stourbridge will transform its grounds into a family-friendly festival on Saturday, August 22.

James Totney, deputy head of fundraising at the hospice, said: "The summer fayre has been one of our most traditional events for many years and we always look forward to welcoming our community to the grounds of the hospice.

"With so many local people attending it has become so important to us, not only as it helps us to say thank you to those who support us but because it raises much-needed funds so we can continue to provide our care, free of charge, when it is needed."

The event will begin with a festival parade at 10.30am, featuring decorated vehicles, floats and supporters.

A parade will travel through Oldswinford before arriving at the hospice grounds, off Hagley Road.

A main stage sponsored by Wall James Chappell Solicitors will feature live music and tribute acts, including performances in the style of Dolly Parton, UB40, Sinatra and the Rat Pack, and Sabrina Carpenter.

Visitors can enjoy a motorbike display, a grand auction, and a dog show sponsored by Powis Vets.

Food options include a Black Country BBQ and various food stalls, with free parking available on the hospice site.

The event will also include children’s entertainment and character appearances.
