Flackstock

Flackstock: Raising Awareness of Mental Health Issues and Funds for Mental Health Charities close to Caroline’s Heart. 

Monday 22nd July 2024, in the grounds of Englefield House, Pangbourne, Berkshire.

Tickets now on sale.

Family and friends of TV presenter Caroline Flack have announced today that Flackstock, the intimate day festival celebrating Caroline’s life with comedy, dance and musical acts, will return for its third year in 2024.

In its inaugural year in 2022 Flackstock featured performances by the likes of Ronan Keating, Tom Grennan, Olly Murs, Natalie Imbruglia and more.

The event was attended by thousands and raised an incredible £325k split equally between Choose Love, Mind, Samaritans and Charlie Waller Trust – four worthy outlets that held a special place in Caroline’s heart.

2024’s event will also raise money for these outlets, whilst the line-up will be announced in due course.

Flackstock will again take place in the grounds of Englefield House following on from the summer concerts as part of Heritage Live on the site which will be announced in the New Year, presented by Giles Cooper Entertainment.

The event is organised by a committee including Caroline’s mother Christine and sister Jody, her friends Natalie Pinkham, Dawn O’Porter, Anna Blue, Sarah Tyekiff, and Leigh and Jill Francis.
