Charities are being given the opportunity to raise money and boost their profile by partnering with Lancashire’s largest live music event.

Lytham Festival returns for five nights from Wednesday July 2 to Sunday July 6 and is expected to attract up to 115,000 people.

Charities from across the region are being encouraged to apply to benefit from the event.

Every year, each night of TK Maxx presents Lytham Festival is partnered with a charity. That charity is then given the opportunity to have a team of fundraisers on site collecting monetary donations.

Last year charity partners collectively received more than £23,000 and since the festival’s inception in 2010 they have collected more than £140,000 in donations.

If you would like to be considered as a charity partner you can apply at TK Maxx Presents Lytham Festival Charity Partner Application Form 2025

Applications must be submitted by 5pm on Friday April 11.

Festival co-founder Peter Taylor said: “We are very proud to welcome five charity partners to Lytham Festival each year giving them the opportunity to not only raise funds but to promote their incredible work to a huge audience.

“Each year we are inundated with applications and it is so difficult only being able to select five partners so we would always encourage charities to apply again if they have previously been unsuccessful.

“In addition to our selected charity partners we are also very proud to support a wide range of charitable organisations year-round by donating funds and tickets to help them fundraise.”

Blackpool’s Trinity Hospice and Brian House Children’s Hospice have been a charity partner on a number of occasions.

Head of Fundraising Linzi Warburton added: “We are very fortunate and incredibly grateful to have been selected as a charity partner for Lytham Festival in the past, and over the last 10 years have raised an astonishing £67,000 from festival-goers keen to support our local charity while enjoying fantastic music in an iconic location.

“Lytham Festival is a wonderful opportunity to bring volunteers together for a brilliant evening while helping to raise money and share our cause to people from across the North West and beyond. It’s certainly something we always look forward to when we’ve been lucky enough to be selected as a charity partner.

“Thank you so much to Cuffe and Taylor for allowing us to be part of it time and time again, supporting local families who need us.”
