Fakenham Rugby Club will host Fitzroy's Fitzfest in July

The money raised at Fitzfest 2024, which will take place on July 20, will be donated to Fitzroy, a day service at the Maltings in Fakenham that specializes in the care and support of those with learning disabilities and autism.

Music lovers attending can expect to hear from a number of bands, including The Black Shucks, who are the day's headline act.

They will then be followed by Never 2L8, Blusonica, Dynamite & Dinosaurs, 5 Day Rain, and Random I.D.

Rachel Lewis, the organiser of the event, said: "I had a good idea for a fundraiser to do a music festival, and lucky for me my manager said yes.

Ms Lewis intends for the money raised to go towards "ongoing projects" at Fitzroy. "We are going to buy a defibrillator. We are also making some nice spaces in the Maltings for our service users to relax," she added.

"It’s been hard work setting things up but I think I'm just about there now and I really can’t wait for the day. After all who doesn’t love an all-day music festival?"
