Fox Lane Sports & Social Club are holding their 3rd ever Music and Beer Festival on August Bank Holiday Weekend 2025
This free festival will once again, be held over the Friday to Sunday August Bank Holiday weekend in 2025. The event will host 9 local bands / music acts, family fun day on the Sunday, with activities for all the family planned. In addition, each sports section (Cricket / Tennis / Bowls / Hockey / Football / Rugby) will be running free taster sessions for children to increase participation into their respective sport streams. Profits from the refreshment sales at the event will be ring-fenced for reinvestment back into the sports facilities on site. In 2023, £5k was provided to the cricket section to reinvest in their practice facilities and another £5k has been earmarked from 2024 profits, to support the bowling / tennis sections on drainage an safety netting projects. We are keen to grow the festival to a bigger audience for emerging artists, and to increase participation in local sports, as well as providing more volunteer opportunities throughout.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
As above The festival will give the opportunity for the wider Leyland community to come together in a sporting theatre, to enjoy a weekend of family fun and music. All sporting sections of club will deliver taster sessions over the weekend for all ages to try new sporting activities. It's a great opportunity for children to try new sports and engage with potential new hobbies. Local music acts are being encouraged to get involved to provide the weekend entertainment. We are speaking to local educational establishments to sound out potential music acts, who want to be involved. Similarly, local food vendors will be invited on site, further helping South Ribble businesses. Ultimately, we will be looking to ring fence and reinvest profits from the event to improve the sites infrastructure, in line with 23 and 24, as already set out. Finally, our charity partner will again be Derian House, for whom we raised circa £2k in 2024.
Steps to get it done:
This year, we have engaged with Leyland Round Table and 41 Club who have very kindly offered to help with the organising and volunteering over the weekend.
