ANDERBY ROCKS VII – THANK YOU & ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Well... another Anderby Rocks has come to an end.
Before the dust settles and we all catch our breath, we simply want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make Anderby Rocks VII such a fantastic day.
Events like this do not simply appear in a field. They are the result of months of planning, hard work and the incredible generosity of local people, businesses, organisations, performers and volunteers who all pull together to make something special happen.
Firstly, we would like to thank everyone who came along.
Whether you enjoyed the music, bought a drink from the bar, tucked into something from the barbecue, treated yourself to refreshments, bought raffle tickets, had a go at Bell Target Shooting or simply came along to enjoy the atmosphere with family and friends... thank you.
Every drink poured, every burger served and every raffle ticket sold helps us continue supporting the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance, while keeping Anderby Rocks a completely FREE family music festival.
