Macmillan Acoustic Picnic Mini Festival success for second year in a row
Crowds of people flocked to Newlands Cottage Paddock, Cloughton, to enjoy a great afternoon of acoustic music, festival food and to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.
The event was organised by David Michael Ward, who held both events in memory of this late father, Mike Ward.

Hide AdScaffolding was erected to build a stage for musicians to perform and Radio Scarborough set up a station so that the entire five hours of music could be streamed live on local radio.
This was organised so that David’s elderly grandma could listen along to the festival.
Festival food including Scarborough Creperie, Lottie’s Vegan Cakes and Orchard Events all had pitches along with a prosecco bar and luxury loo’s.
David said: “I would like to thank the many people that helped this wonderful little festival possible.
