TICKETS TO STRATFEST UP FOR GRABS |
Stratfest, at Stratford Park Hotel & Golf Club on 9 August, will once again lend its stage to a host of talented local musicians while also raising money for South Warwickshire children’s charity Molly Ollys – and you could be there. |
∙ IMPRESSIVE MUSIC LINE-UP ∙ Rock’n’Roll party cover bands Texan Peacocks (from Stratford-upon-Avon) and No Direction (from Snitterfield) head the impressive line-up, which will culminate in a spectacular fireworks finale lighting up the skies at 10pm. Other acts include Frazer Lepford, performing Indie and Rock; Jake Rees, performing Classical and Pop; guitarist Luke Brougham playing Spanish/Latino and Country; Rock Pop duo The Tickets and Pop vocalist Honor Isabella. |
∙ A DAY OUT FOR CHARITY ∙ Molly Ollys was established by Rachel and Tim Ollerenshaw in 2011, following the death of their eight-year-old daughter Molly from a rare kidney cancer.
The Warwick-based charity works to support children with terminal or life-limiting illnesses and their families and help with their emotional wellbeing. As well as providing more than 4,300 wishes to date, they donate therapeutic toys and books to both children directly and to hospitals throughout the UK.

OUR EXPERIENCE AT THE THE STRATFORD PARK |
Our recent visit to the The Stratford Park proved to be an outstanding experience, seamlessly blending magnificent golfing with exceptional hospitality. From the moment we arrived, the stage was set for a truly memorable stay.
∙ FIRST CLASS GOLF AND UNRIVALLED VIEWS ∙ First, we were set to enjoy a round of golf, and the course certainly did not disappoint. It was nothing short of magnificent, offering challenging play amidst amazing views that stretched across the picturesque landscape. After an invigorating game, we unwound with a refreshing glass of bubbly on the hotel’s terrace, soaking in the warm sun and enjoying the lovely, expansive space. |
