It is the second year the event is being held, and runs from 12pm until 12am on Sunday, September 27.

Entry to the festival is free, but organisers are asking for a suggested donation of £5.

Bands who will perform on the day include Bad Touch, British Rejects and Painted Soul, among many others, and a raffle will also take place.

The charity also raised over £1500 at their second charity ball held at the end of May which included an appearance from Jeffrey Drayton and a live performance from Georgia Falls.

Grace Harvey, Deputy Manager at Topcats said: 'This is our second music festival and we are hoping we can raise money to continue to go towards our building improvements.

'After the ball we have made some improvements but there is a long way to go!

'We support young people from the ages of five to 30 with additional needs and run over nine outreach projects.'
