FarmTrax Music Festival 2024, Farmer Copleys
Somehow in the nine years that I have lived in Yorkshire, I have never come across Farmer Copleys until this past year, possibly due to now having two young children. I now know that Farmer Copleys is an amazing place to visit if you want to go strawberry/pumpkin picking. It is said that they grow over 250’000 pumpkins a year!! Crikey!
Amongst all of this they also seem to be able to host some fantastic events and music festivals throughout the year.
On Saturday 27th July I was able to help photograph their FarmTrax Tribute Act Music Festival. Starting at 12 and finishing at 9, the music, food and drink certainly brought families and friends to the venue! What a treat it was.
Here are some photos from the event.

Barnsley Pride 2024, The Day Through My Lens
Saturday 13th July marked my very first Pride festival. I wasn’t too sure what to expect but one thing I knew would be present was ‘togetherness’.
The day started for me at around 10am. Stalls were almost fully put together and a few people made their way to somewhere comfortable where they could see the day’s events unfold.

Barnsley Pride 2024, Stephanie Hirst, Radio DJ
Barnsley Pride brought it all. An electric energy was present throughout the day and Stephanie Hirst took that energy to yet another level at the Garrison, Barnsley.
It was a pleasure to be able to photograph Stephanie’s set on Saturday night.

Barnsley Pride 2024, Catherine Rannus, Saxophonist
If there's a musical instrument that I love it's the sax!
It's always wonderful hearing the sound of somebody playing the saxophone and to be able to work and listen to such great music was a treat, so thank you Catherine Rannus!

Barnsley Pride 2024, Smashby
Barnsley Pride, 2024!
What a day!! What a great day!
As you know I had the privilege of being one of the photographers for Barnsley's Pride festival Saturday just gone.
The day was full of fun and love for all. One of the very talented acts I photographed in the late afternoon was Smashby
You could see how much love was present from both Smashby and the fans. A joy to watch.
More images from Barnsley Pride to be on socials soon. Also look out for more blog posts about Barnsley Pride too. Be on the lookout
