MAYFIELD School in Whitehaven will be hosting a music festival. 

This will be in aid of a new fund which will enhance the experience for students at the school.

A range of artists is set to perform this summer as they hope to raise lots of money for the learning centre that supports children with special educational needs. 

A spokesperson said: "We are very excited to share with you that we have a Mayfield Festival taking place on Friday, July 12, between 6pm and 11pm on our outdoor stage.

"This will be in aid of the Mayfield Development Fund and all money raised will go towards offering enhanced experiences for our students. Tickets are £10 and available from Eventbrite. 

"This is an 18 and over event, we really hope our local community will support this amazing event."

Alex De Freitas, Ged Hagan, Adam Amor, Joni and the Solway Sound Machine, and Graham Carruthers are all set to perform. 

There will also be food vans, a bar, gin and prosecco bars, and various stalls.
