Bucks Fizz star Cheryl Baker and her daughter Kyla stage Never Landing Festival at the Hop Farm

Singer and presenter Cheryl Baker and her daughter, Kyla, are to stage a charity music festival at the Hop Farm.

The Never Landing Festival at the family park near Paddock Wood on Saturday, June 4, will feature local acts and music for all tastes, while raising funds for two charities.

Cheryl, who lives in Kent, and Kyla, have put the event together and hope to make it the first of many at the Hop Farm.

The charities which will benefit are the Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy and Abigail's Footsteps, which Cheryl is vice president of, and which was set up by Jo and David Ward after their daughter was stillborn in April 2009, to create a bereavement suite at Medway Maritime Hospital.

Cheryl said: "We've gone bigger this year! This is our fifth year but it's the first year at the Hop Farm. There's a little bit of something musically for everybody."

The fun family day, which will have activities for kids, will have two stages - a main stage and an acoustic stage in a yurt.

There will be camping and a VIP area where visitors could even have a drink served by Cheryl.

She said of the charities which will benefit: "You're not just doing it because it's fun and not just to promote the acts - although you're doing both of those. But you're also doing it for charity too.

"All the artists are performing for nothing, so they're supporting the charities as well which is great. It's going to be a great day out for the whole family whether you're young or old - I'm in my 60s! And you'll have that knowledge that you're supporting two great causes too. And hopefully the sun will shine."

Her fellow Bucks Fizz member, Mike Nolan, will also be there, she said. "We might even get up and sing a few songs!"

Running from 2pm til late, performers include Cheryl's daughter, Kyla, herself a singer and songwriter, with her twin sister Nat, and Jamie Johnson of The Voice.
