K-Fest is a free live mini music festival in the Hertford Club to remember and celebrate Kristin Crilly who was a local musician and who was tragically killed on her way to The Latitude Festival in 2013.
One of the ways her family acknowledge her memory is by running this one day festival and The Hertford Club have proudly and generously let the event happen on their premises.
The acts chosen for the event all have some link to Kristin or her family but it is a fun event with a wide variety of music performed.
This year the festival is on Saturday 11th August and there are 15 acts. Weather permitting it will be in the club's garden again as the event has been such a huge success since 2015.
