Pulse Festival was set up in 2010 with a clear purpose in mind and that was to raise money and awareness for the Children’s Heart Unit in Southampton.

Two of the festival organisers, Mark Ward (of the band heath:ward) and Olly Maw (of the band Subgiant), both have young children with Congenital Heart Disease who have both had life saving treatment at the unit in Southampton.
The festival supports Families of Oceanward, a local charity who really make a difference to the patients and relatives of children with Heart problems

The festival would not happen without the great support and work of Ian Nelson, his family and staff at Sunnyfields Farm, the farm is open to the public all year so do take a visit, there is always something going on down there. They have a fantastic farm shop which stocks a huge variety of local and organic food.
