CHESIL ROCKS – BACK WHERE IT BELONGS!
After a misty start to a glorious summer afternoon, our sold-out Picnic & Pimms event brought together more than 100 people for a fantastic afternoon of music, food, fun and fundraising in our lovely garden.
We would like to convey our huge thanks to all those who brought tickets and attended and to our incredible sponsors – RiskSTOP Group Ltd, Symonds & Sampson and our mystery sponsor.
A smaller and more intimate event this year, featuring mostly local acts and creating a very special atmosphere, besides being more straightforward to organise and less disruptive to our lovely community - pointing the way for future events.
While we’re still finalising the figures, we are expecting to be able to donate £3,500 to Samaritans of Dorset at Weymouth, equating to 10% of their annual budget and is a fantastic achievement.
Thank you all once again so very much.
Tim and Hilary
PS Save the date for next year: Saturday 19th June 2027
Chesil Rocks has been an annual music and arts festival since 2012, with all proceeds going to Samaritans of Dorset.
With no government funding, our Samaritans - who are all volunteers - need to raise £40,000 each year to keep their branch open and maintain their service. Our contribution enables them to worry less about fundraising and focus more on what they do best.
This is why we support Samaritans.
