<h1>Last chance for summer festival tickets</h1>
There will be magic in Haywards Heath this week as Victoria Park comes alive at this year’s Summer Festival of Music.

Organised by <em>It’s Magic Events</em>, the festival will raise funds for three charities: Woodlands Meed School in Burgess Hill, Kangaroos Fun Disability Clubs, and Sussex Autism Support.

Starting this Wednesday and ending on Saturday, the event will welcome people across four spell-binding evenings of music. Renowned singer Katherine Jenkins OBE will headline the closing night.

On the 11<sup>th</sup>, music from the <em>Ensemble Reza Community Orchestra </em>and <em>Brighton Jive </em>will support Mark A. Wright, a leading Elvis Presley tribute artist. Together, they will recreate the sights and sounds of classic tunes like <em>Hound Dog, Jailhouse Rock </em>and <em>Can’t Help Falling in Love</em>.

The following evening will bring its own ‘kind of magic’ to the park. Reprising Queen’s legendary Greatest Hits, <em>The Bohemians</em> promise to rock the town with their two-hour, electric high-energy show, including a faithful re-staging of Queen’s iconic Wembley ’86 and Live Aid performances.

The much-loved songs of Neil Diamond will fill the air on Friday the 13<sup>th</sup>. Dubbed ‘The Voice of Diamond’, the show will take audience members on a musical journey through the star’s glittering 50 year career. Also sharing the stage is the ‘Motown Show’ which promises to cherry-pick Motown’s greatest hits for an unforgettable evening of entertainment.

The festival will come to an enchanting end on Saturday with Katherine Jenkins <em>Proms in the Park. </em>Returning for the fifth time, the ever-popular Welsh mezzo soprano will be accompanied by the National Symphony Orchestra and will appear alongside special guest John Owen-Jones. He is best known for playing the titular role in <em>The Phantom of the Opera</em> and Jean Valjean in <em>Les Miserables. </em>Internationally-renowned <em>London Welsh Male Voice Choir</em> will also join the operatic superstar.

Speaking in a radio interview to <em>Connections Radio </em>last week, Katherine Jenkins said that she is thrilled to be returning to Haywards Heath Summer Festival. “These open air concerts are, for me, just the best way to enjoy this kind of music,” she said. “It is going to be a lovely night.”

Staged in the open-air grounds of Victoria Park, music fans are encouraged to bring picnic blankets and chairs to enjoy the songs in comfort.

Tickets can be bought for individual shows or for the entire festival. They are available from: <a href="http://www.itsmagic.org.uk.">www.itsmagic.org.uk</a> or in person from <em>Broadbridges </em>on Sussex Road, Haywards Heath.
