Teddy Rocks music festival takes to the market town of Blandford, Dorset on 2, 3, 4, 5 May 2014 at The Greyhound Inn, in the heart of the town.
This. the third Teddy Rocks Festival, will showcase 25 live rock bands and up to 30 acoustic artists performing across two stages over the four day festival. Our purpose is to raise money and awareness for children’s cancer and is in memory of Ted Newton, who lost his fight to cancer aged 10, in June 2010. Every penny raised from tickets, merchandise and donations goes straight towards helping children undergoing treatment for cancer, to help them and their families through incredibly difficult times.
Since its formation in 2012, Teddy Rocks has raised over £11,000 for children’s cancer charities. The success and support of the festival has grown each year, leading to the event hosting more bands over more days, aiming to raise even more money for an unbelievable cause. Headline acts include BLURB (Official Blur Tribute), Forever Queen (Queen Tribute), Foo Forgers (Foo Fighters Tribute) and The Decatonics, a local ska and covers band from Bournemouth.
Tickets for the festival are £6 per day or £20 for the weekend and will be available online from their website, and The Greyhound Inn from March. Tickets will also be available over the weekend on the gate.
Official Teddy Rocks t-shirts will also be on sale from March and available to purchase from The Greyhound Inn, Blandford for £15.
This event would not be possible without the support and help from Jan & Gaz at The Greyhound Inn, Basement Hire from Wimborne, The Blandford School and all of our volunteers.
