Events run from 5pm to 11pm on Friday, and from midday to 11pm on Saturday - with a change to the usual headline band from rock to tribute band - Abba Chique.

Organisers for the weekend said: “We think the change will be great for the festival and give it a more wide appeal to end the Saturday.

“The past few years have been hugely successful and the charity has set up a local grant scheme to help schools and musicians with funding.”

Performers will include Yes Sunshine, The Session and Kristy Gallacher, Jessica Rhodes, The Occasional Orchestra and Nina Baker.
