A popular family man who died from oesophageal cancer will be remembered at a live music event at the Railway Tavern in Dereham on Saturday.
Adrian Hargreaves, known locally as Huggy, lived in Beeston with his wife Linda and their four young children and died aged 45 in August 2013 – just six weeks after he was diagnosed with the disease.
His great friend Paul Sandford, who runs the Railway Tavern, is holding the event in his memory and to raise money for the oesophagus cancer research unit at the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital.
Hugfest is an all-day event with free entry but donations welcomed to the charity.
The musical line-up is as follows:
12pm Ash Barton
1pm Thomas Bainbridge
