Great to be apart of thank you for having us The Hare and Hounds Hawsker 🩷💙
💛 Hounds Charity Music Festival 2026 💛
Firstly, apologies for the delay and the very long post... but there are so many people to thank! 💛
After a lot of counting, recounting and double-checking, we're delighted to announce that our 3rd Annual Hounds Charity Music Festival has raised an incredible...
💛 £6,075.44 💛 😁👏
We may not have beaten last year's total, but this is still an amazing, life-saving amount of money for such a fantastic cause, and we couldn't be prouder.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who attended, donated, supported us and helped make the day such a success.
A very special thank you goes to everyone who volunteered on the day or helped with the setup beforehand - Nikki, Dave, Karen, Kev, Wendy, Martin, Jer... and anyone we've accidentally missed. There were so many of you, and every bit of help was appreciated more than you know. 💛
A huge thank you to Mitch and the team at MJC Scaffolding Solutions for putting together both our stage and the bike trials arena. We'd also like to thank Wilf Noble Building Supplies Ltd, Noble Recycling, Daniel Knaggs Fencing & Landscaping Ltd, MS Joinery, Jeremy Thompson, Scarborough Motor Club and Guisborough Motor Club for all your help with the trials arena. It looked fantastic!
And of course, thank you to all of our incredible trials riders for giving up their weekend to entertain the crowds, along with Ian Pyman for keeping everyone entertained on the microphone.
We'd also like to thank everyone who generously donated raffle prizes and auction items:

A huge thank you also to Lee Fowler and Sean for the rides and games, Trillo's of Whitby Ice Cream, Fairy Folk Face Painting, DOH Whitby and the Whitby Falconers for helping make it such a fantastic family day.
To all of our brilliant musicians and sound team - Joshua Lonsdale, Over The Limit, Trilogy, Jet Blax, Jessie Lace, Tom Cornforth - thank you for keeping the atmosphere going all day long. 🎵
And finally... to our amazing Hounds Team 💛
None of this would be possible without your hard work, dedication and willingness year after year. We really are lucky to have such an incredible team.
To every single person who came along, bought a raffle ticket, made a donation, sponsored, volunteered, performed or simply helped spread the word...
Thank you. We couldn't do it without you.
Here's to doing it all again next year! 🚁💛🎶🍻
