The popular annual festival raises much needed funds for Stourbridge-based Mary Stevens Hospice.

Scouting For Girls shot to fame in 2007 when their debut, self-titled album went triple platinum with hits like She's So Lovely and Heartbeat.

They will be joined on the main stage by Radio One favourite Becky Hill, from Bewdley, international DJ and former Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt and X Factor 2018 winner Dalton Harris.

The day will also include free activities for families, numerous food stalls, four bars provided by Sadler's Brewhouse, shops and market stalls, a fairground and performers all around the festival site throughout the event.

The main stage and festival ground will be hosted by the Hospice's official SummerFest radio partners, Signal 107.

Laura Amy, SummerFest organiser from Mary Stevens Hospice, said: "There is nothing we love more than offering our supporters the chance to make incredible memories with their families and provide unique experiences that they might otherwise not have the chance to get in this area.

"To have artists of this calibre supporting the event has been the most incredible boost and we simply can't thank each of them enough for agreeing to help us make memories for our community and make our care possible for families relying on the hospice.

"We have done everything we can to make this the perfect family festival and we simply can't wait to see Himley Hall full to the brim with smiling faces of all ages on the day."

Dicky Dodd, Signal 107 Breakfast show presenter and host of SummerFest 2019, added: "We have absolutely loved being a part of this event for the last two years and working with the hospice to create incredible experiences for people in the local area, so it was a bit of a no-brainer for us to be involved again this year.

"Our community is at the heart of everything we do and we know they are going to have just the most fantastic day with their families in support of a truly worthwhile cause and it is our privilege to be able to play a part in that."
