Ribble Valley Music Festival celebrates a century of live fund-raising music concerts

In the process, the music festival overcomes residents mobility, loneliness financial issues by bringing quality artists to the area and which otherwise would entail travel and higher costs. Entrance to all concerts is only £10 and all surplus proceeds go to the venues. No money is retained by the Ribble Valley Music Festival.

To celebrate the success of reaching 100 concerts the organisers invite people to predict which one of the concerts below is the 100th one and submit entries to [email protected] before Friday April 5th. A draw of the correct answers will take place on April 12th and the person whose name is drawn will be awarded two free tickets for a concert of their choice.

Then before the closing date of Friday April 5th submit your answer and your choice of which concert you wish to have free entry for two people.
