​The annual Party in the Ark music festival – dubbed a ‘micro Glastonbury’ – returned to Boston with live music, games and stalls.

The event is organised by Abi’s Hotel for Cats, at their field in Donington Road, Kirton Holme, and offers a long weekend of live music, food, drink and family fun.

All the fun is for a good cause, as the event raises money for Lincs Ark animal rescue – and this year the festival managed to raise £2,000.

Raising funds for Lincs Ark are Louise Kirkland, Julie Brooks, Amanda Tune and Abi Tune.Raising funds for Lincs Ark are Louise Kirkland, Julie Brooks, Amanda Tune and Abi Tune.

James Kirkland, from Party in the Ark, offered thanks to all who supported the event, adding: “Despite the not-so-fortunate weather, people still came out in true festival style to enjoy a great line up of music bands and helped to raise £2,000 for Links Ark cat, kitten and rabbit rescue.

"We hope to see everybody again in 2024.”
