Food & drink

The Festival is held at Sunnyfields Farm who have a cafe and host a Farmer's Markets every weekend. The Farm are pioneers of the Food & More Project and it is this project which has enabled the festival to happen. The project is all about farms being more than just places that grow food, which means things like music can happen too.

Kids

Children are the inspiration behind this festival and so there will be all sorts for the children to do from face painting to juggling, and crafts to bouncy castles.

Ethos

Pulse Festival has been set up with a clear purpose in mind and that is to raise money and awareness for the Children's Heart Unit in Southampton known as Ocean Ward. The Festival is organised by Mark Ward and Olly Maw (Subgiant). Both have young children with Congenital Heart Disease who have both had life saving treatment at the unit in Southampton. But it's not just Mark & Olly, this festival has a whole team of dedicated friends and supporters behind it.

Fund raising

All profits raised by this festival will be donated to Wessex Heartbeat and Friends of PICU, charities who directly support Ocean Ward and the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU).
