A music festival dedicated to adult mental health through the power of creativity is set to return.
Andover Rocks will take place from March 27 to 29, 2026, bringing together musicians, poets, entertainers, healers, and wellness practitioners across the town.
The festival is designed to raise awareness and funds for adult mental health, using music as a tool for healing and connection.
Marie Ponting, founder and organiser, said: "2026 promises to be just as electrifying and fun-filled as 2025, with a few new surprises thrown in, and a hugely talented team of venue captains and musicians taking part.
"Rocks 26 is definitely a date for your calendar."
