A VILLAGE festival will be held to raise money for life-saving equipment.

The Nazeing Festival will feature live bands, classic cars, a dog show and the Nazeing’s Got Talent competition, all in aid of a new defibrillator.

The kit, which is used to re-start the heart after a cardiac arrest, will be used by the village’s First Responders – a group of volunteers trained to give life-saving treatment locally.

The event will take place on September 10 from noon until 7pm at the Clayton Hill Country Park.

To help out, call the organising committee on 01992 652682.
