A music festival featuring 25 acts will be taking place in a Dorset town next spring.

Purify Festival will run from Friday, April 21 to Sunday, April 23 in Dorchester Road, Sturminster Marshall, to raise funds for Dorset Mind, a mental health charity.

It will be taking place just off the A31 at Partyfield and Moonacre, an outdoor events space.

Organisers say that the nation is facing a mental health crisis and it wanted to do something to address this.

Two music stages hosting 25 different artists will play across the long weekend, while there will also be therapies available for people to access including laughing yoga, pilates and an interactive cooking workshop.

"We are really excited to be launching this event, as it’s the first of its kind," organisers said.

"We are especially hopeful that we can raise the funds and the awareness to make a real impact to the residents of Dorset. We want to build a healthier and happier community."
