WALLINGFORD’S annual BunkFest weekend starts today.

It will be staged on the Kinecroft, the town’s green space and at other venues until Sunday.

The headliners for the showcase of music and beer are Tankus The Henge, Merry Hell and Roving Crows.

Thousands of people gather for the festival every year and it was a big success last year after wet weather almost wiped out the Sunday sessions in 2017.

Bands missing out in 2017 were then invited back last year.

The free festival, which is almost entirely run by volunteers, costs about £100,000 and is expected to attract 20,000 people.

The festival provides a big financial boost for the town every year as people travel from outside the area.

Special tributes will be paid to BunkFest co-founder Bob Wyatt, who died in May aged 66 following a lengthy battle with prostate cancer.
