Plough and Flail to host Mobb Fest on July 21

Caroline runs the Mobberley pub, which is staging a fun-filled day in aid of the Alzheimer’s Society.

The team at the Plough and Flail pub are organising Mobbfest on Saturday, July 21, and aim to raise as much money as possible.

They are planning a day of live singers and local bands, accompanied by fairground games, a bouncy castle, independent craft stalls, outdoor bars, a barbecue and charity raffle.

Caroline said: “We have decided to organise Mobbfest for the Alzheimer’s Society in memory of a close family friend, Sally Townsend, who loved festivals, family and the outdoors - so what a brilliant way to celebrate her life.

“It’s great to think that I will be raising funds to help support people living with dementia now and to fund research to one day find a cure for dementia.

“We are super excited to have the fabulous Joel performing at Mobbfest this summer.”

Sally’s family said: “We lost our mum to dementia two years ago. Our mum was the life and soul of a party, and loved nothing more than a good celebration.

“We have many awesome memories partying with her, at Glastonbury, her own Tumblefest, Amsterdam and many other gigs.

“She loved music, people and fun. We couldn’t think of a better way to honour her memory than with our own festival.”

Alzheimer's Society community fundraiser Ashley Pennington said: “It’s wonderful that Sally’s family and the team at the Plough and Flail are giving their time to support the Alzheimer’s Society.

“Dementia devastates lives, but dementia won’t win. Until the day we find a cure we will be here for anyone affected by dementia, where they are, whatever they’re going through.

“We need more people to join us now and unite against dementia.”
