A summer music event is seeking volunteers for its much-anticipated return.

The Abel Foundation is preparing to host Music at the Manor on Saturday, July 11, after a successful event last year.

The foundation is looking for 20 volunteers to sign up for four-hour shifts during the one-day event. A variety of roles are available.

Live music from local musicians and tribute acts will fill the evening, aiming to raise community spirit while also raising funds for families affected by mitochondrial disease.

The line-up promises performances from the likes of Radio Gaga, Queen Rocks, Lizzie Cullen, In Colour, Cover Girlz and Jake Ward.

Organisers are still seeking sponsors to back stage, gold and silver packages.

A spokesperson for the Abel Foundation said: "Sponsorship at Music at the Manor isn’t about glossy logos and empty gestures - it’s about standing behind families, children and carers when it matters most."

Tickets are up for grabs, starting at £35 for the 60 remaining early birds and going up to £40 for standard tickets. 

To buy tickets, go to tickettailor.com/events/theabelfoundation.

For a chance to join the volunteer squad or to gather more information on sponsorship, people have been encouraged to reach out via secretary@theabelfoundation.org.uk.
