Fundraising 2026

In 2026, the Wheatsheaf will be continuing to support this charity by making donations through fundraising events, which also include donating much-needed products.
The main event this year is the Beetroot Beer and Blues Festival. 3 days celebrating the mighty Beetroot, the wonderful Beer served at the Wheatsheaf and accompanied by some of the best Blues music from Suffolk musicians and beyond, this 3-day Festival aims to raise as much money as we can for Lighthouse.
