Virgin Radio UK named as official broadcast partner for three festivals
Virgin Radio UK has been named as official radio station for CarFest, Latitude and Hardwick Festival.
Latitude takes place at Henham Park in Suffolk on 25th to 28th July, Hardwick Festival is on at Hardwick Hall in Durham on 16th to 18th August, whilst CarFest will be on in Laverstoke Park Farm in Overton on 23rd to 25th August.
