Izzyfest has been set up to give 17-year old Izzy Withers, from Risca, her dream of going to a festival. Izzy is currently under the care of Ty Hafan after being diagnosed with an incurable brain tumour.
One of her bucket-list items was to go to a festival, but her mum Tracey Bryant-Withers thought that she would be too ill to go.
So, she approached the organisers of Glastonselfy and in just four weeks, have pulled together a full one-day festival with fun for all the family.
