Date for Pink Floyd drummer's charity event announced

Pink Floyd's drummer will open his home once again next summer for a charity fundraiser that "people travel all over the world" to attend.

The event will be held across the weekend of 6-7 June, and is hosted at the home of Nick and Annette Mason, Middlewick House, in Corsham.

Running since 2013, with about 15,000 people attending last year, it raises money for Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance Charity and The Wiltshire Bobby Van Trust, which supports elderly people.

Jennie Shaw, director of the trust, said: "[The event] gets bigger and bigger each year, with people travelling from across the UK and the world to attend."

New traffic measures, including a new exit, have been introduced for next summer's event in a bid to tackle parking issues. In 2025, motorists' vehicles became stuck in mud as they were attempting to leave.

Barbara Gray, the air ambulance Charity's chief executive designate, said she hoped the changes make "everyone's experience in 2026 even better than ever before".

In 2025, the event raised about £200,000 for the two charities.

Ms Gray added: "We can't thank our ambassadors Nick and Annette enough for hosting this event again to raise funds for two essential charities in the community."

Attendees will be able to explore the garden and see Mason's collection of classic and high-performance cars.

Tickets must be pre-purchased, and parking will only be available to those with a parking pass, issued alongside tickets.
