Hi everyone
As organiser of Tollsfest I would just like to thank everybody who came last Saturday and made the day another memorable one in the long line of Tollsfest history 😎

My Tollsfest team …
I would like to thank Jolene for keeping the social media updated and sorting the dreaded licensing and risk assessments that we have to do 🙏 and for her long service to Tollsfest 👏

And Becky for answering all the correspondence that comes in 🙏…

Thats the Tollsfest team right there 👏 …

But for the day to be a success it relies on people donating their time to help which I’m truly grateful for ….🙏
So here we go …

Molly Hill -Eddie Ryhmes -Kev Tappin -Becky Hill -Elsie Hill -Christian & Annalisa Farley -Sarah Jones -Jayne Manning -Mrs Lynn ..for being on the main gate👏
My main man on the day - John Dorsett ..👏
Caroline and the TCP team for their amazing efforts with the recycling and tidying up ..👏
Jonny Leavett for sorting the generator from Evers tiptree …👏
Gary and Ben at gamarts and Phil and Justin from amavans for transporting the generator 👏
And then at the end of the day …all the help with the packing up ..
Elsie Hill and Evie Billimore -Annalisa & Christian Farley -Becky Hill -Anna Halford -Mark Cundick-Molly Hill-Freddie Hill 👏

Everyone here has given their time for free 🙏🙏

We hope you all enjoyed yesterday, we had a blast! The sun always shines on Tollsfest in the end ☀️
As organisers, even when the run up to it gets a bit stressful, we always find ourselves glad we made the effort when the day comes around and everyone has such a good time.

This year our chosen charity is the British Heart Foundation, but we also make sure we can put some of the money back into our community in lots of smaller donations.

If anyone could not make it yesterday, or would like to contribute a few more spare pounds to the cause this year, we are sharing our deposit details in the hope we can really smash our previous targets!
Thank you ALL for coming, donating, singing, dancing, sponsoring and volunteering your time on the day. You are all awesome humans ❤️💚❤️

From independent alt clothing and accessories, to the famous Palmer’s Tollsfest T-shirts and the talented Bo Kennedy selling his handmade paracord key-rings. ☀️🌿🎵🎶
