Family-friendly music festival AlannaFest 2025 has raised over £6,700 for CancerCare.
AlannaFest was held at the Trimpell Club in Morecambe on Bank Holiday Sunday (24th August).
It has been organised by The Duffy Family since 2017 in memory of mum-of-two Alanna Duffy, who died from leukaemia in 2008. The event is run by a team including Alanna’s mum Stella and sister Katie, their family and friends, and they have raised tens of thousands of pounds for CancerCare over the years.
Katie and Stella were “overwhelmed by the love and support of the community and their friends” and thanked people for their generosity and support.
Local acts taking to the stage this year included Teddy Swims tribute Teddy Sims (Dane Piercy), Mark 'The Soul Man' Yates, Andy Creevy, Jazz Johnson, Dance Design Academy, Strawberry Dance Studios, the cast of Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat from Lancaster Red Rose AODS and Happy Feet Cheerleaders. Host of AlannaFest 2025 was Beyond Radio’s Phill Hayward.
Katie and Stella say, we are overwhelmed by the love and support of the community and our friends and we cant thank people enough for their generosity and support
All ticket sales and donations went to CancerCare and we were so grateful for the Duffy Family’s unwavering support over the year.
