Organisers of the Hop Farm Music Festival have announced that NHS employees in Kent will be able to get a special discount on tickets.

The event, which will be held from Friday, July 4, until Sunday, July 6, has announced that everyone working for the NHS across the county will get a discount of 20% on all tickets.

A spokesman said: "It is just about offering something back to the NHS. We just wanted to do something for those who work in the NHS."

The festival promises a three-day line-up packed with favourites and new acts, including Kinks frontman Ray Davies, co-founder of the Beach Boys, Brian Wilson, James Blunt, Deacon Blue and Curtis Stigers.

There will also be comedy from the likes of Jo Brand, Rich Hall and Russell Brand and street style carnival fun from The Flying Seagull Project.
