Free music festival Rock at the Castle returns next weekend.
Rock at the Castle 2022 will take place in the grounds of Hertford Castle on Sunday, August 7 from 12.30pm to 7pm.
Although free to attend, this year’s selected charity, East and North Hertfordshire Hospitals, will be fundraising on the gates.
Donations received from Rock at the Castle will help enhance the care given to children being treated at Hertford County Hospital.
Funds raised will help to refurbish the hospital garden, which will provide a space for children and their parents to take some time out to relax and unwind and sensory toys will help calm children who can often be anxious in a hospital environment.
What is the Rock at the Castle 2022 line-up?
With three stages spread over three different areas, there will be something for everyone, with acoustic, folk, indie, rock, and pop music to enjoy.
The main stage will be on the Castle lawn along with refreshment stands.
The Moat Garden and the Island stages will be home to solo and duo acts with a more relaxed and acoustic feel.
