Badger Beers is offering a number of VIP tickets to Teddy Rocks, the charity-focused festival in its home town of Blandford, Dorset, which it has supported for several years.
The competition will run across the Hall & Woodhouse and Badger websites and social channels until 20th February, offering eight winners and their friends a VIP weekend worth £1,000 at Teddy Rocks.
The package includes accommodation in a Badger-branded bell tent for up to four people, festival tickets, access-all-areas passes, and a supply of Badger beers in kegs. In addition, all competition entrants will receive a 15% discount on purchases from the Badger Direct website until 31st May.
Teddy Rocks runs from 29th April until 1st May with a line-up of established musicians and new talent, including Newton Faulkner, The Fratellis, Eagles of Death Metal, The Skints, and West Country veterans The Wurzels. It’s not all about the music though, as the festival offers a plethora of fun activities to cater for all.
The festival started in 2011 as a small gig in The Greyhound, in Blandford, organised by local resident Tom Newton as a fundraiser in memory of his brother Ted, who died aged 10 from a rare form of cancer. Over the next eight years the event evolved into a three-day festival, now held just outside Blandford at Charisworth Farm, raising £107,000 in 2019 for the Teddy20 charity, which supports families who are living with, or have lost, a child to cancer.
Escape to Dorset
Hall & Woodhouse drinks marketing manager, Matt Woodhouse, said: “We’re delighted that Teddy Rocks is back for 2022 and proud to continue our long-standing support for this fantastic local event that raises money for the wonderful Teddy20 charity.
“We’re confident our competition will appeal to many festival fans and we look forward to giving the winners a memorable VIP experience here in Blandford. Teddy Rocks may not yet be drawing the mega-stars of Glastonbury, but we can promise that any music lovers who choose to get their festival fix in Dorset instead of Somerset this year will have a ball — and will certainly find it easier to get a ticket!”
The Teddy Rocks competition continues the theme of Badger Beers’ Escape to Dorset promotion, encouraging visits to its ‘heartland’, Dorset, by offering 20 overnight stays in a Hall & Woodhouse pub in the county. The competition featured on bottles of Fursty Ferret and Golden Champion. Since its launch in October last year, the competition has attracted close to 19,000 entries and runs until the end of February.
