A popular music and arts festival returning to the Black Country later this month is set to donate hundreds of free tickets to NHS workers. The eighth edition of MADE Festival will move to Dunstall Park in Wolverhampton on Saturday, July 30.
And festival organisers have teamed up with Sheffield-based organisation Tickets For Good to donate 1,000 tickets for NHS workers to attend the festival for free.
Organisers say the tickets are available to thank NHS workers and remove any financial barriers that might have prevented them from coming out and enjoying live music, away from their high stress work environment.
The line-up for MADE Festival includes AJ Tracey, Bad Boy Chiller Crew, Andy C, Eats Everything, Pa Salieu, Ms Banks, Bru-C, Shy FX, Kings of the Rollers, TQD, Prospa, Jaguar, A1 x J1 and more.
It is expected that 20,000 people will descend on Dunstall Park for a day and night of music, arts, creative performance and street food. MADE was one of the few festivals which took place last summer, held at Sandwell Valley Country Park.
Festival director, Pete Jordan, said: “We are really pleased to be working with Tickets For Good to provide free tickets for NHS workers this year. I hope that all the tickets are taken up and if Tickets For Good have demand for more then we’ll try and find a way to give them more.
“The festival industry owes NHS workers a great deal for their hard work and dedication in getting us through the pandemic. I want to make sure that they are aware of this offer, and how to take advantage of it. We look forward to welcoming some real heroes to Dunstall Park on July 30.”
Tickets For Good founder Steve Rimmer added: “We were delighted to partner with MADE, allowing NHS workers to access this amazing event. Our recent Impact Award from TheTicketingBusiness would not be possible without quality events partnering with in this way. Big thanks to all at MADE for making this possible.”
NHS workers will need to register on the Tickets For Good website, and select MADE Festival as their event of choice. The only cost is a small booking fee from Tickets For Good who cover overheads. For more information and to register, visit www.ticketsforgood.org/nhs.
