Posted on Fri 20 Mar

Mayor of Wolverhampton Councillor Craig Collingswood launched this year’s Mayor’s Fest which reaches its 10th anniversary of fundraising for charities at venues across the city.

The Mayor said: “I’m delighted that this year’s Mayor’s Fest is marking its 10th anniversary with three days of live music and entertainment across some of Wolverhampton’s best loved venues.

“With incredible acts including South of Salem, InMe and Beth Blade, alongside many talented supporting artists, it promises to be a brilliant celebration for rock fans and our wider community.

“Most importantly, Mayor’s Fest continues to raise vital funds for my charities which, this year, are Acorns Children’s Hospice, Compton Care, The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust Charity and SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity.

“I would encourage everyone to come along, enjoy the music and help support these amazing causes."
