This Is Tomorrow Have Announced A Free Festival For NHS Workers

The organisers of the This Is Tomorrow Festival have announced a free festival which will take place in 2021 for NHS Workers.

It’s set to take place at Newcastle’s Exhibition Park on May 31st 2021 where it’s described “a huge thank-you to those individuals who are risking their lives to curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic”.

Newcastle & Northumberland NHS workers, as well as care workers, will be able to get tickets free of charge to This Is For The NHS festival which will raise money for various NHS Foundation Trusts in the region.

Managing director of the festival has said in a statement:

“We’re donating This Is Tomorrow’s festival site to give NHS workers a big day out and say a massive thank you to the key workers who are putting their own health at risk to keep us all safe,”.

“After speaking with former colleagues, I realised just how hard it has been for NHS workers. Considering the amount of risk that they have had to face on a daily basis and with the number of NHS staff that have died as a result of the disease, it is commendable that they have continued to go to work while everyone else has been able to stay safe at home.

“The care workers also need to be recognised for the courageous protection of the elderly in care homes and hospices. I hope we can give them a day to remember with their colleagues in May.”

Tickets will go on sale on Friday May 22nd 2020 at 10AM via the following link. Adult and Children’s tickets are priced at £25 and £15 respectively. All proceeds are set to be donated to the regional NHS trust.
