The award-winning BLOODSTOCK FESTIVAL has started a weekly Facebook lottery, enabling a lucky winner to grab a pair of festival tickets (with camping) every week from now through to the festival in August. All you need to do to enter is swap your current Facebook cover pic for one of the custom-built Facebook cover banners available at the BLOODSTOCK website; http://www.bloodstock.uk.com/
For the 3rd year in a row, Teenage Cancer Trust is to benefit from being BLOODSTOCK charity partner this year. Fundraising initiatives at last year’s event raised a whopping £4,775 for the TCT. Money was raised via the guest list scheme (where guests & media are asked for a £10 charity donation in return for their weekend wristband), raffles and a t-shirt amnesty, and this year the aim is to smash the £5,000 target. This year, the popular t-shirt amnesty returns to the TCT stand in the arena, with old rock & metal tee’s available in exchange for a donation, while festival goers are encouraged to bring along and donate old shirts they no longer want. There will also be tickets available to a TCT raffle over the weekend, with an exclusive prize for one lucky winner – more details will be announced soon. Jen Walker, Music Co-ordinator for Teenage Cancer Trust said: “We had a brilliant time at Bloodstock last year, and appreciate all the support from both those behind the scenes at the festival and all of those who popped by the stall and supported us! Roll on August – and LAMB OF GOD!”
