Hockley Hustle

The Hockley Hustle is an annual, one-day music and arts festival held at multiple venues in Nottingham and centred around the Hockley area.[1] Running since 2006, it has raised over £150,000 for various charities and communities[2]

History

The festival began life in 2006 as part of Oxjam (a music festival raising money for Oxfam) and initially had seven venues involved.[3] It has since grown, incorporating over 30 venues and more than 300 acts. Since its inception, it has raised over £150,000 for various local charities.[4]

Past artists include Saint Raymond, Sheku Kanneh-Mason, and Jake Bugg.[5] The latter two also took part in an online version of the festival held in 2020 during the coronavirus restrictions.[6]

Present day

After a two-year hiatus, Hockley Hustle returned in 2022.[7]
