One band performing at the event, The RAW Collective, recently launched their first album at a local event. Find out more here.

This year, the festival will be supporting the Air Ambulance and British Heart Foundation through ticket sales, fundraising efforts and a raffle. 

While the Air Ambulance is one of the charities that they have supported since the inception of the event in 2009, they have opted to support the British Heart Foundation following the passing of a local musician and regular performer and attendee of the event, Paul Caffrey.

Extonbury Music Festival started out as a small private celebration of local artists, first becoming a public event in 2009. Now heading for their 14th year, it has become a popular charity music event for the people of Exton and Rutland, showcasing talent from across the region.

All proceeds are donated to charity. Last year, the team raise a record £6,560 and supported local bands, suppliers and charities who attended and performed at the day-long festival.

A spokesperson for the event said: "We've always been proud to support the Air Ambulance - it's unfathomable that such a vital emergency service, particularly in rural areas like ours is funded totally by the public and receives no government support at all. Since our first festival in 2009 we've raised a total of £28,000 for this superb service, including last year's record of £6,560. 

"We're sharing our achievements this year with the Heart Foundation in memory of our dear friend and long time supporter Paul Caffrey who sadly suffered a fatal heart attack earlier this year. Heart problems can afflict any of us and the work the Foundation does across the whole spectrum of issues is essential in continuously improving our capabilities in preserving life.

"If you'd like to support us in our work for these two vital charities please buy tickets and join us for a fantastic day of music, food, drink and fun in the company of friends and family."

The event is set to take place on 1 July from 11:30am. Tickets are only £10 per person, with children aged 12 and under going free.
