Where it all started
Extonbury Music Festival started out as a small private celebration of local artists, first becoming a public event in 2009. Now heading for our 14th year it has become a popular charity music event for the people of Exton and Rutland, showcasing talent from across the region. |
Our aims
Extonbury is a charity event raising money for causes close to our hearts. We also want to support the small businesses which are part of our community and who help us put the festival together. And of course it is a celebration of music given freely by performers of all ages. |
Air Ambulance
After a couple of years raising money for Exton Village Hall we're pleased to say that the refurbishment is complete and so we are returning to one of our regular national causes, our local Air Ambulance. In a rural county like Rutland, far from emergency medical centres in Leicester, Nottingham & Peterborough the Air Ambulance is a service which quite literally saves lives, whether that be from road traffic incidents, horse riding accidents or quite frequently a mix of the two. Here's a quotation direct from the Air Ambulance website (click here to go to the website)
"Our lifesaving missions are funded by your generous donations. We do not receive any government funding. The Air Ambulance Service flies across the counties of Warwickshire & Northamptonshire, and Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland, covering 3,850 square miles."
