Worcester Music Festival is all about community… and this year, we’re proud to be supporting ONSIDE as our 2026 charity 💚

ONSIDE is a brilliant local charity supporting adults and children across Worcestershire who may be finding life difficult.

They’re there for people who are in crisis, feeling isolated or struggling with their health, offering services including advocacy, mental health and wellbeing support, social prescribing and community‑based link workers.

Your support throughout the festival weekend helps ONSIDE continue their vital work, making sure people across our communities feel heard, supported and connected.

From 11th to 13th September, artists, venues and music lovers will come together across the city… and together, we can make a real difference!

Worcester Music Festival is BACK this September… and our donation page for this year’s charity partner, ONSIDE, is now live 💚

Behind the music, we’re supporting ONSIDE, a brilliant local charity helping people across Worcestershire access fairness, support, better wellbeing and a real voice in the decisions that shape their lives.

Every donation makes a difference:

£20 can fund a play pack for a young child struggling with their mental health.

£50 can run social support sessions for people who feel isolated.

£100 can fund activities for a child in care.

£150 can help train someone with lived experience to become a Peer Mentor.

From 11th to 13th September, artists, venues and music lovers will come together across Worcester city centre, and we’d love you to help us support ONSIDE’s vital work throughout the festival weekend 💥
