This Is BullFest!

Last years BullFest attracted almost double the number of music lovers to the previous year, and this year looks to be even bigger. You will need to get here early to be guaranteed a space to see some of the best live music this summer!

BullFest 2009 is in aid of the East Anglian Air Ambulance and the "Nicky's Way" programme at St Nicholas Hospice in Bury St Edmunds. There will be collections throughout the day alongside other fundraising activities and we hope that you will all dig deep as every single penny collected will go directly to helping these charities make a huge difference to peoples lives!

2007

The Charities

East Anglian Air Ambulance
On average the EAAA are called to four incidents a day, life threatening situations such as road traffic accidents, incidents involving people in inaccessible places, cardiac arrests. Because of the advanced skills, drugs and equipment found on board, and being able to access places impossible for a land ambulance, the EAAA can make the difference
 
Nickys Way at St Nicholas Hospice
The death of a close family member can be an overwhelming, painful and lonely experience for a child or young person. It may be hard to talk with a parent who is already upset. Friends may shy away because they do not know what to say. At Nicky's Way they believe children have a great capacity to survive the death of a close family member, but this journey is made easier for them by being alongside others who care.
