APPLICATIONS are now open for charities to apply to be Worcester Music Festival’s chosen cause.
Every year, the festival selects a different local charity to support, raising both cash and awareness over the course of the three-day event, which, in 2025, will take place across from September 12 to September 14 in the city centre.
Applications must be in by February 1.
During the 2024 event, the weekend-long celebration of music had an incredible impact on the year’s charity, Herefordshire and Worcestershire Motor Neurone Disease Association. Alongside raising a staggering £5,556.33, the festival showcased the charity’s vital work to thousands of festival-goers.
Festival director Ant Robbins said: “We had an amazing festival in 2024, raising a record-breaking amount of money over the weekend. The Herefordshire and Worcestershire MND Association plays a crucial role in supporting individuals living with motor neurone disease in our community through support groups, grants, and other vital initiatives. Thanks to the generosity of festival goers in 2024, the charity has been able to launch a new support group, extending their reach and offering assistance to even more local people affected by MND.”
Charities are invited to complete the festival’s application form, providing information on their work, who they help, and, most importantly, whether they have a specific project they need support with. In previous years, the festival has supported charities including Worcester Community Trust, Worcester Foodbank, and The Myriad Centre.

Worcester Music Festival was launched in 2008, featuring a small number of venues and artists. It has since flourished into a weekend-long event that supports both the local music scene and the community at large.
