A raver spent £6k putting on a festival for 200 people in his parents' back garden - complete with a party bus and chocolate waterfall.
Jack Hodgson, 23, decided to throw "the mother of all festivals" to celebrate the end of the pandemic - after missing out on socialising with his friends due to Covid restrictions. He persuaded his parents - Rosie, 53, and Stewart Hodgson, 54 - to host the gathering in their two-and-a-half acre back garden at the family home in Darlington.
Jack and a team of mates set about throwing a party before the idea escalated and they started organising a one-day music festival - which they named 'Rush'. Jack started organising their first festival in January 2021 - with the main event taking place in August 2021.
