A returning festival in the Lake District came back even stronger after making its debut in 2025.
Bouth Fest was once again held at The White Hart Inn on Saturday, August 29 to celebrate local talent and raise money for St Mary's Hospice.
The event has grown beyond all initial expectations for pub owners Jessica Looker and Jonathon Moore with £4,387.71 donated to the Ulverston-based charity this year.
Jessica said: "A massive thank you to every single person who came along, bought a ticket, donated, shared our posts, performed, volunteered or helped make Bouth Fest what it was - every bit of support made a difference.
"A very special thank you to Bob Qazi for all the time, effort and organising that went on behind the scenes - we genuinely couldn’t have done it without him.
"And of course, a huge shoutout to our amazing staff - you worked your socks off before, during and after the event, and your hard work didn’t go unnoticed."
Even the poor weather did not dampen spirits as residents came together to sing and dance.
The line-up featured Gavla Vocalist, Rod Demick, Daisy and the Diva, Mitch Walsh, Craig Brown, Jorgie Sam Wilson, New Sass, Bobby Q, and an evening disco.
Jessica added: "Thank you to all of the incredible artists for giving up their time and talent, and to everyone who helped make the day so special
"What a day, what a team and what an incredible amount raised for such a brilliant cause."
The idea for Bouth Fest was started when Jessica and Jonathon chose to do 'something a little different' to celebrate the village of Bouth and its community.
After a strong first event last year, the pair were left 'blown away' by the number of ticket sales for the festival last month.
Updates about any future iterations of Bouth Fest will be shared at The White Hart Inn Facebook page.
