For a second year, South Croydon’s Earl of Eldon pub is staging a music festival, on Sunday May 26.

Promising 12 bands in 12 hours, the South Croydon Music Festival will run from noon in the pub grounds on the corner of the Brighton Road and Junction Road.

Proceeds raised from the day will go towards Help for Heroes.

The pub often has live music acts performing on Saturday evenings, as well as staging open mic nights and karaoke, and the day-long festival will be an extension of this, with an all-day barbecue on the go, plus charity raffles and auctions, and activities for all the family.

There might even still be some gaps on the schedule, so if you have a band and would like the chance to perform, or want more information about the event, contact Michael on 07956 509497.
