Taking place from 10:30am through to 10:30pm on Saturday 11th July 2009, on The Green at Martlesham Heath, the day promises to be a musical spectacular. Non-stop music will play on our 2 stages throughout the day. The usual attractions will also be in place, fun fair, kid’s entertainer, marquee serving drinks, local organisation stands and various other food and drink outlets to feed and refresh the anticipated large crowd. If you want to book a pitch for a stand please get in touch with Sue by e mailing sue@motg.co.uk.

Our line-up looks really exciting! Two stages will be providing fantastic music throughout the day, with local favourites such as ‘Smokin’ Hogs’, ‘Aftershock’ and ‘Anything But Ordinary’ already confirmed. Ensuring that there is something for even the most discerning listener ‘Hysteria’ and ‘The Mutiny’, both local high school bands, will be performing. As an extra special treat ‘After the Fire’ will take their turn on the main stage during the evening, whom some of you may remember from their chart successes through the 1980’s. Old favourites will also be performing, such as Martlesham Brass, Suspect Device and Cool Remedy.
As with previous years there will be a fun fair, kid’s entertainer, drinks marquee, various tasty food and drink outlets and a selection of local organisational stands. Stands are still available, so if you wish to book a pitch please contact Sue on sue@motg.co.uk.

There will be a fully-equipped bar on the Green to buy drinks from, however security checks will take place on the gates to enforce the 'no glass' rule.
This rule change as been decided upon to help prevent accidents and also to ensure the safety of those in attendance.
