IT’S going to be another cosmic event.
The line-up for this year’s Cosmic Puffin Festival has been announced and once again it looks set to be a glorious mix of great local acts and exciting new national ones.
The first Cosmic Puffin Festival took place at the Mersea Outdoors Centre, East Mersea, in 2008 with a sackload of bands and artists from all over the country.
Organised by Jamie Anderson to raise funds for the Puffin Ward at Basildon Hospital and Children of St Mary’s Intensive Care (Cosmic), in London, it was a huge success, raising £1,400.
Last year, organisers collected funds for the National Autistic Society and Bliss, the premature baby charity, raising more than £4,500, and this year they will also benefit from the event.
• Running from April 2 to 4, tickets cost £45 for a weekend pass with camping, which are available at www.cosmicpuffin.co.uk
