Following a fantastic inaugural Roar last year, Roary the lion is back once more to provide great music, comedy, style and sporting events for all ages – raising cash for charity.
Starting with The Watering Hole beer festival on Friday 19th of June, the glasses will be raised at the Cambridge Quy Mill Hotel and Spa, home once more to all Roar events.
Tony Murdock, General Manager at the hotel is Chairman of The Cambridge Roar: “The Cambridge Roar is a non-profit making company set up to solely raise funds for Charity. This year, we wanted to build on the success of our first year, hence why we have chosen to increase the number of events over a longer period of time. Again, for the second year, we are raising funds for The Prince’s Trust and new to 2015 we are also raising funds for The Arthur Rank Hospice Charity’s ‘Help Our Hospice’ Campaign.”

The Cambridge Roar is now in its second year, this year bigger and better with 18 events over 23 days – something for every member of the family. The Roar runs from Friday June 19th for 3 weeks, culminating with a Gala Ball and Grand Wedding Fair.
Last year the Roar website had over 10,000 visits per month from those interested in having a Roaring good time and the marquee and hotel were hosts to more than 800 guests over the festival period. The Roar Board were able to give £5,000 to the Prince’s Trust as a result, but this year we want to give more to both our chosen charities.
Aided by a variety of generous local sponsors (see below) The Cambridge Roar 2015 is supporting two charities this year – The Prince’s Trust, the UK’s leading youth charity and also the Cambridge based Arthur Rank Hospice. The hospice are dedicated to providing specialist palliative care and support to adult patients, their family, friends and carers, relieving sickness and suffering of people with life limiting conditions in Cambridgeshire and surrounding area.
