Jake Ward, who first made headlines after winning a singing competition at Portsmouth Guildhall aged just 13, will perform at Carpark Fest in Overton.

There will also be a 'Chilli Challenge' hosted by TV personality Christopher Cloke of Come Dine With Me fame.

The festival is being organised by Overton Radio and will raise funds for both the station and Test Valley Men’s Shed.

Mr Ward said: "I am so pleased to be asked to perform at this great event.

"Test Valley Men’s Shed and Overton Radio are both fantastic community resources.

"It’s also a delight to be sharing the stage with a number of other great local Overton-based acts, which I am told to keep strictly under wraps until they are announced on Overton Radio in the coming weeks.”

Mr Ward is scheduled to take the stage around 3pm.

The event, which celebrates Overton Radio’s third birthday, is free for visitors and traders.
