Tickets are now on sale for Pat’s Party, which returns to Ben Rhydding on Saturday 28th June.
The summer music festival is 2-9pm and will have the usual amazing afternoon of live music, children’s entertainment, zip wire, BBQ, Indian food, beer tent and children’s games.
The first Pat’s Party took place in 2004, the brainchild of Pat Evans who sadly passed away from cancer the following year. Since then, her friends and family have kept the idea alive and have raised over £174,000 for charity.
Last year’s was a huge success raising £12,400 for charity and organisers have announced the same beneficiaries this year, who are: Save the Children UK, Keighley Salvation Army Foodbank, Bradford Central Foodbank, Biasan, Ben Rhydding Scout and Guide Group and Airedale Hospital Community Charity Emergency Department Appeal.

A spokesperson said:
“A big thank you to our gold sponsor Harrison Robinson Estate Agents and silver sponsors: CFP Group, TL Dallas & Co Ltd, Lester Campbell LLP, AAB, and Allica Bank for supporting our fundraising this year.”
Advanced tickets on JustGiving are £8 per adult and £3 for 12-18 year olds. Children 11 and under are free. Tickets are available by donating at https://www.justgiving.com/page/pats-party-2025 [Please state your name and the number of adults, teens and children you are paying for, as this list is used at the entrance.]
The spokesperson added:
"Tickets may be available to purchase on the door, subject to capacity.
“We've been completely sold out for the last few years so we recommend buying in advance to avoid disappointment
“We hope you can join us for another fantastic event.”
