ORGANISERS of an annual charity music festival have thanked volunteers for helping the event go ahead.

BrightFest returned on Saturday (11) at the recreation ground on Mackney Lane in Brightwell-Cum-Sotwell, near Wallingford, and offered music for all tastes along with children's games and refreshments.

Funds were also being raised for Brightwell Pre-school and Brightwell Primary School, through money raised by a Kids Zone area, and for the Bone Cancer Charity, with cash raised at the tea tent.

On Facebook, an organiser of the event said: “Many volunteers were involved in making it happen, thank you to everyone involved, you’ve all been absolutely awesome.”
