A town pub will become pink for a day as string of local rock bands play a gig for charity.

The Hobgoblin pub, in Sheep Street, Bicester, will open its doors on Sunday, August 28, for a Pink Festival, from 2pm.

Proceeds from the day will be donated to charity the Breast Cancer Campaign.

Student Dina Al-Hakim, 24, of Heron Drive, Bicester, organsied the event as one of her aunts is undergoing treatment for breast cancer in Saudi Arabia, and another aunt, who lived in Holland, sadly died from the disease.

So far nine local acts including Zero Hour, Serotonin, CJ Quinn, Charlie Gannon, Captain Dale, Gareth Gwynn and the Carvell Rock Show, have signed up.
