Grooves on the Green runs from 11am until 7pm with music on two stages, a local beer and food festival, kidzone and mini film festival.

Line-up

On-stage the grass roots music line up is introduced by Britain's Got Talent semi-finalist Allan Turner-Ward with appearances from festival stalwarts Pronghorn, the rabble rousing folk rock concoction of Black Water County - now celebrating their tenth anniversary - and a rare outing for Volatile Agents, the medical marvels whose line up includes doctors, surgeons, theatre medics and a member of the judiciary.

Later in the day, festival favourites The Mother Ukers can be found at the Grooves after party in the Brickies.

On the door ticket prices – £8 adult, £6 Youth. Grooves Garden £15. Children under 5 are FREE.

Tickets are not refundable under any circumstances other than cancellation of the festival.

More info

As in previous years £1 from every ticket sold will be donated to Dorset disability charity, Diverse Abilities Plus, which helps children and adults in Dorset who live with profound disability, and has received more than £9,000 over the last two years from its association with Grooves on the Green.

This community event offers music on two stages with other attractions including sports on the Green, alternative therapies and the popular Kidzone with lots of activities to keep the youngest groovers happy, and more.
