WITNEY is gearing up for another smash hit day of music on Saturday – this time in memory of 14-year-old Liberty Baker.

With only three days to go until the big event – which has taken months of planning – organisers of LibFest are promising big things.

One of the planners, Mike Dove, said the line up this year was sure to "blow everyone's minds".

The event comes just a week after the end of the equally popular Witney Music Festival, which lasted for 18 days and was held in bars, cafes and even barber shops across town.

Mr Dove said: "It's very exciting. We are in a really good place and we know a lot of money has been raised already by lots of different people.

"It's important we still let people know what this is all about and raise awareness of road safety and our charities."

The event, being held for the second time, is in memory of Witney teenager Liberty, who was killed while she was walking to school.

The 14-year-old Henry Box student died in 2014 after being hit by the car driven by Robert Blackwell in Curbridge Road.

He was later jailed after admitting causing her death by dangerous driving.

Last year's inaugural event was hailed a huge success as thousands of people enjoyed music, met up with friends and paid their respects to Liberty. It was branded "a special day for a special person".

Organisers of LibFest have chosen three charities to raise money for, which are Grief Support for Children and Young People in Oxfordshire, Children's Hospice Arts, and Thames Valley Air Ambulance.

The fun runs from 10am to 10pm on Saturday at The Leys and features local bands Payday, Damn Good Reason, Death of Hi Fi and The Standard.

There will also be a silent disco, a children's area, an open mic tent, family entertainment and more.

This year organisers are also making a last minute bid for volunteers to help set up and tidy away on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
