UK Chart-topping Scrumpy and Western band, The Wurzels, are coming to Westbury for a very special event taking place at Heywood House on Saturday 5th August.
Countryville is a new event for Westbury and nothing like it has been staged before at Westbury’s 17th century country estate of Heywood House. The Wurzels will be performing live alongside special guest performers, a children’s area, cider tent and tug-of-war championship.
The first Countryville event is a fundraiser for Westbury and Warminster Youth Club. The Westbury Festival, Gm3 Music and Captain Events have teamed up with the youth club to make the event happen and raise funds for such an important local cause.
For the event, Heywood House will welcome teams from across the region to participate in a tug-of-war and other country games like welly wanging and toss the marrow! Local sports teams, businesses, gyms, and community groups are all invited to take part.
Organisers say, “A special kids’ area will also be onsite so the whole family can enjoy a day out. ‘Lurrvely’ country food, stalls and, of course, the iconic Wurzels are set to make this the must-visit event of the year summer.”
Westbury and Warminster Youth Club manager, Beth Mullins, explained why the fundraising event is so important to the club saying, “Every year, funding gets harder and harder to come by. The youth club’s work is vital, working with some of the most vulnerable, but equally some of the most inspiring young people. Fundraising is vital if we are to keep this service for Westbury and Warminster running.”
Earlybird tickets are now on sale for only £15, with general sale tickets available at £20 (plus standard booking fees.) Family tickets are also available.
