TEST FEST RETURNS
After a two-year gap due to the pandemic, the popular music festival Test Fest returned this weekend. This year's festival was moved to a new venue at Taunton Rugby Club and welcomed Cornish headliners Wille and The Bandits. The event took place on Saturday 18th June 2022 at 12 noon to midnight.
Test Fest is a music festival with a message - the only one of its kind in the UK and maybe the world. Their aims are to support men at diagnosis and during treatment, raise awareness to encourage early detection and celebrate the 98% survival rate from Penzance to Worcester.
Organisers Sue Brand & Lloyd Williams said:
We met James Tolman and Nick Mason from Taunton Rugby club and they are very supportive of what we are trying to achieve. The game of rugby is primarily a men’s sport and what better way to raise awareness of Testicular Cancer and also support the club. They have also allowed us to attend matches to tell the spectators what we are all about. We are looking forward to showcasing to the club what we can do”.
