ROCK THE BOX NEEDS YOU

The organisers of a hugely popular charity music event are looking for local bands, businesses, Cornish breweries and stallholders to join in this year’s activities.

‘Rock the Box’ is big and better this year it’s being held over the whole weekend starting on the evening of Friday 31^st August  in the beautiful Cornish village of Mithian .

The event, which takes place in a field behind the Miners Arms,  It is a mixture of live music, local stalls, real ales and tasty food from the barbecue all in aid of raising much needed money for Shelter Box. This year we are including a beer festival and we are looking for donations of cask ale from Cornish breweries with all monies made from the ales going to the charity.

Shelter box is a Cornish-based charity which provides emergency shelter and lifesaving supplies for families around the world who are affected by disasters at the time when they need it the most.

This will be the event’s third year. It was started by Anouska House and Ceinwyn Morgans in August 2010, when they raised more than £5000 for the charity.

“Due to its success and popularity, we decided to make this an annual event,” said Anouska.

“We have everything from an outside bar and barbecue, stalls provided by local businesses, raffles with fantastic prizes, entertainment for children and not to mention live bands all day long.

“It is a fun family friendly day that is open to everyone. With your support we hope to make this event even bigger and better than last year’s,” she added.

The Miners Arms is a traditional pub, serving real food and ale in old world comfort. During ‘Rock the Box’ the pub will be open all day serving a full menu between 12-2.30pm and 6-9pm booking is advisable, all dishes are freshly prepared and cooked to order, using the very best of local Cornish produce.

Organisers would like to hear from anybody that would like to donate prizes, set up a stall during the day or any bands that would like to play.
