A popular music festival has hit an impressive fundraising milestone as it prepares for its next event in the summer.
Last August, thousands of Glaston-Bury revellers packed out the town centre for a day of entertainment and live music.
Covering a total of 21 stages, six outdoor and 15 indoor, there was something for everyone.
Stages were set up in popular venues across the town including The Blind Tiger, The Earl of Derby and Wax and Beans.
Headlining the festival were a Bury band called Broken Biskits who are an indie/punk/rock cover band.
Now, with less than five months to until the festival returns on bank holiday, Monday, August 28, organisers said "we are delighted to announce that Glaston-Bury 2022 raised a mighty £40,000 in donations".
"This brings the total we raised for Bury Hospice alone to over £250,000", the festival said in a social media post.
The festival held its first event 15 years ago in 2008.
The post said: "We offer our humblest thanks to everyone who was part of the day.
"Our venues, stage crews, equipment suppliers, stallholders, media teams, event security staff and of course the team at Bury Hospice all worked so hard and did us proud.
Special thanks go to all our sponsors, especially our main event Sponsor The Car Co and our Main Stage Sponsor Crown Oil Ltd.
"Huge gratitude also to our fantastic performers, and our wonderful team of volunteers without whose kindness and generosity the day would simply not be possible. Please know that we love you all!
"Lastly, our thanks go to everyone who attended to watch what can only be described as an amazing lineup of entertainment! You showed everyone once again that Bury is amazing.
"With love and thanks, and of course a glass raised once again to the memories of our friends Steve and Gerry Birtles and all who we remembered in our 4pm dedication.
"Who is ready to do it all again for 2023 on August 28?"
The hospice has expressed its gratitude towards the festival for its support over the years.
Lara Partridge, director of income generation at the hospice: "Glaston-Bury had expanded significantly since its debut in 2008 when only one venue was used.
"Since then, the festival has extended to embrace more venues and bands.
"We rely heavily on donations to keep our services running. The hospice truly belongs to the people of Bury.
"I would like to thank Glaston-Bury organisers Chris Buckley, Lyndsey Hopkinson and Laura Higginson for making Glaston-Bury such a huge success."
