S.o.p.h.i.e Festival Merseyside

This event is in aid of showing Merseyside's true support of The Sophie Lancaster Foundation.

Following the horrific murder of Sophie Lancaster, her family wanted to ensure a lasting legacy to their beautiful, bright creative daughter and so The Sophie Lancaster Foundation was established. It became a registered charity in 2009.

The aims and objectives of the Charity are as follows:
To create a lasting legacy to Sophie.
To provide educational group-works that will challenge the prejudice and intolerance towards people from alternative subcultures.
To campaign to have the UK Hate Crime legislation extended to include people from alternative subcultures or Lifestyle and Dress.

A 3-day fundraiser showcasing some of Merseyside's finest rock, metal and acoustic acts with lots of hidden surprises and extras, across two stages with all funds raised being donated to The Sophie Lancaster Foundation.
