THE first ever charity festival is being held in a Worcester pub to help three trekkers walk the Great Wall of China.

Plumfest at the Plumber's Arms, Wyld's Lane, Worcester, features a whole host of talent as well as top music and a chance to win more than £500.

The charity day is in aid of the National Deaf Children's Society, which has organised the walk in China next May.

Musician Jules Benjamin and Beatless band manager Tony Gibbon will be attempting the trek along with Malvern Gazette & Ledbury Reporter editor John Murphy.

Plumfest, is being held on Sunday (September 17), from 2pm until 10.30pm.

The day will include Jules Benjamin (John Lennon in the Beatless) playing live in the afternoon with guest musicians and family entertainment by an international magician with balloon modelling and close-up magic.

There will also be a giant raffle with prizes, stalls, games and disco in the evening with the ever-popular Vic Vinyl including jackpot quiz prizes totalling more than £500.
