JuddFest - Marketside Tavern

Introducing…JUDDFEST

Marketside Tavern are pleased to announce their very own little music festival at The Marketside Tavern. This little extravaganza is a fundraiser in aid of Bowel Cancer UK, and in honour of Alan “Judd” Hood – our beloved friend, father, and guiding voice that helped turn the Tavern into what it is today.

He passed in September last year, and his birthday is coming up on 1st April…so we see no better way to celebrate him than to host this awesome festival and fundraiser in his honour! 🤘

This will take place on Easter Sunday – 5th April 2026 – kicking off at 2pm and running into the evening 🐣

We’ve got LOADS of acts, a huge raffle, free grub, and more stuff to come to raise as much money as we can for Bowel Cancer UK. More info to follow over the coming weeks 😄

We’ve started a Just Giving page for donations – please see the link below. Any and all donations are welcome and appreciated – no matter the size!
