A charity music festival in Radlett will be headlined by ITV's 2002 Pop Idol runner-up Gareth Gates.

Music on the Farm will be held at Battlers Green Farm on Saturday, September 5.

Gareth Gates, who went on to appear in a series of West End shows and in the Christmas pantomime at the Alban Arena in St Albans, in 2013, will be joined by a line-up of other bands.

The event, which runs from 6pm to midnight, will raise money for Macmillan Cancer Care and Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital.

As well as the musical acts, there will be dodgems, bucking bronco, face painting and hair braiding.

There will also be a range of food and drink stalls including a wine and champagne bar.

Tickets are £20 for adults and and £10 for children with under-fives free and are available from www.ticketline.co.uk or 0844 888 9991.
