Brownhills Cockfest music festival rocks best
A three-day music festival staged on a poultry farm is back for its third year. Brownhills Cockfest kicks off tomorrow with 14 acts taking to the stage.
It started two years ago when couple Kez Jenkins, aged 41, and fiancé Martin Payton, 40, welcomed around 50 or so people to their home and small-holding at 237 Watling Street for a Saturday evening BBQ coupled with some live music.
But last year when they decided to do it again it went up more than a few notches.
Poignantly it was dedicated to popular Brownhills man Carl Findon-Kent who passed away suddenly aged 46. The gesture caused the community to rally round and show support for the event, which in the end welcomed around 250 people and raised £1,700 for Midlands Air Ambulance.
Visitors will be welcome from midday while music will start at 4pm on Friday.
Tickets cost £30 for an adult for the whole weekend and £5 for anyone under 16.
While a day ticket is £20 for an adult and £3 for an under 16. Under fives can attend the whole weekend for free.
Tickets can be purchased by calling Miss Jenkins on 07966 611170 or by visiting 'Cockfest 2016' on Facebook.
