History

Frankstock was the brainchild of Frank Haines who, in 2004, decided to pool the talents of his huge circle of friends to put on a tiny festival in North Norfolk to raise money for charity. Held in a beautiful farm setting near to Burnham Market, the first event in August 2004, attracted over 200 people and
featured eight bands playing rock n roll, folk and ska.

In 2005 the number of revellers doubled and organisers
somehow managed to squeeze 14 bands into 12 hours on only one stage! Riding high on the success of the previous two years it was Frank's intention to continue Frankstock into the future but his tragic death in the spring of 2006 meant that he never saw the third instalment of his festival.

Frank's family decided to continue Frankstock in his memory to raise money for the The Frank Haines Memorial Trust, and in August 2006 the festival grew to include a second stage and hosted 500 people and 16 acts. 2007 saw the event grow
further with a total of 26 acts playing into the early hours of Sunday morning and raising over £4000 for charity.

Up against the elements in 2008, this was one of the best events yet, with amazing performances and an epic yurt party. Frankstockers braved stormy weather for another weekend to remember and raised thousands for charity.

Roll on FRANKSTOCK 2009!
