FESTIVAL organisers are gearing up for a celebration by the sea of music, poetry and story-telling.

This year's Chesil Rocks one day festival is on June 20 at Higher Farmhouse, Langton Herring, near Weymouth.

The 2015 festival will be bigger than ever, featuring more stalls, caterers, bands on three stages, poetry readings, story telling and a healing tent.

Co-organiser Hilary Warren will be selling selling a number of her paintings at the festival and all profits will go towards Samaritans of Dorset.

The paintings will be on display at Poundbury Dental Practice before Chesil Rocks.

Tickets for the festival are available through the website chesilrocks.com and also from the Lugger Inn, Poundbury Dental Practice, Kings Arms and the Elm Tree Inn.
