Organisers of a new three-day music festival are hoping to raise awareness and funds for mental health charity Dorset Mind.
Purify Festival takes place from Friday April 21 to Sunday April 23 at Partyfield @ Moonacre in Sturminster Marshall.
The venue is situated within five acres of private woodland.

There will be two music stages for the weekend hosting 25 different artists.
The music is aimed at everyone including pop, rock, jungle and drum and bass.
Different therapies will be available to access including tarot reading, pilates and laughing yoga among others.
Dannii Chivers-Dyke, Project Director of organisers Dooker Entertainment, said: “The nation is facing a mental health crisis.
“We wanted to do something to raise awareness and vital funds for Dorset Mind.
“This is why we have created Purify Festival.
“The support we have had from local companies wanting to be involved, the artists and the stall holders is incredible.

“Our tickets are on sale for this event, whether you want to come for a day or have the experience of the three-day festival.
“Weekend tickets include camping.
“All you need to do is bring a tent.
“We have a couple of VIP packages left or glamping from New Forest Pods which people can hire.
