Sean Rumsey will join a host of artists for the Lichfield Rocks event at The Bowling Green on Saturday (June 29).

The festival – which starts at 11am – features a range of live performances as well as fun activities for the whole family.

Money raised will go to St Giles Hospice after members of the band behind the event, Stubblemelt, revealed how they wanted to give something back to the charity.

“St Giles Hospice has helped my mum to manage her condition over the past few years,” drummer Dave Ashford said. “They hold a regular exercise class for her, which has helped to keep her moving regularly and enabled her to remain positive.

“She is an amazing woman and the way she has not let multiple sclerosis dictate her life is a real inspiration to me.

“It means such a lot to be able to give something back to St Giles Hospice with Lichfield Rocks.”
