"The one-day event will raise funds to train more clever, loveable hearing dogs, and we hope lots of families will enjoy a great day out with us.”

Following the success of other Bucks Live events at the University's High Wycombe Campus over recent years, students from second year Music & Live Events Management and Music Business courses have been working with Hearing Dogs over several months to create what promises to be a great fun day out.

The line up of acts and attractions will soon be announced, and everyone is busy ensuring everything is covered to make this a highly inclusive event. There will be live signing on stage for BSL users, disabled access provision, family-friendly attractions (fairground rides) and of course, dogs will be welcome to join in the fun!

Alan McBlane, Course Leader for Music and Live Events Management, said: “The opportunity to work with Hearing Dogs For Deaf People, and support the fantastic work that they do in transforming deaf people’s lives, is an amazing opportunity for our students.

"The Bucks Live Events have become a firm favourite with the community in Wycombe and the surrounding areas and we look forward to taking these fantastic family focused days to the next level.”

"In the UK 11.5 million people suffer from hearing loss* and this number continues to rise. Deafness can be caused by many factors, of which frequent exposure to loud music is one, and increasingly festival goers, well-known musicians and many employed in the entertainment industry are developing hearing loss.

"We want this event to raise awareness of the causes of deafness, while ensuring live music can still be thoroughly enjoyed."

Tickets for the event are on sale now and priced at £15 std, £10 children & concessions and £30 for a family ticket (2 adults & 2 children).
