Cleethorpes’ much-loved DocksFest has secured an exciting new headline sponsor for 2025, with Grimsby-based Winner Winner Chicken Dinner generously stepping in to support the region’s premier live music festival.
Taking place at Meridian Showground on Saturday 5 July, DocksFest will feature a lineup headlined by The Charlatans, Ash, Maximo Park, and Corella, alongside a range of talented local musicians.
Thanks to Winner Winner Chicken Dinner’s generous backing, festivalgoers can expect an even more vibrant and immersive experience, with exclusive on-site activations, giveaways, and exciting competition prizes in the run up to the event.
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner has become one of North East Lincolnshire’s biggest success stories in recent years. With over 100,000 members, the online competitions business runs daily giveaways through its app and Facebook page, offering prizes ranging from cash and tech to houses and cars. The company is not only known for its prize draws but also for its deep commitment to supporting the local community – including donating over £500,000 to charity, with most of the funds going to causes in North East Lincolnshire.
“We’re delighted to be the headline sponsors for this year’s DocksFest.” said Gemma Kirkham, Director at Winner Winner Chicken Dinner. “As a home grown brand that thrives on delivering thrilling competitions and rewarding experiences, supporting a festival that celebrates live music and local culture is a perfect fit for us. When we started the business we always wanted to support the North East Lincolnshire community. We are a Grimsby born and grown business so we are always happy to support events which benefit people locally. Having an annual live music festival on our doorstep which attracts the likes of The Charlatans, Ash, Razorlight and Frank Tuner is really something to celebrate! We love that DocksFest also encourages grass roots music by inviting local bands and singers to perform which is really cool for these new artists. My partner Sonny and I understand how arts and culture can really influence mental health and wellbeing, so partnering with DocksFest just felt like a natural thing to do. We can’t wait to be part of it and bring something special to festivalgoers. ”
Kate Douglas, Marketing Manager for DocksFest commented “Winner Winner Chicken Dinner is such an amazing business story. Their hundreds of thousands of members have grown quickly, their prizes are epic and the amount they are donating to local charities is incredible. They have so far donated over £500,000 with the majority of that sum going to local causes. This passion for community engagement and delivering top-quality experiences aligns perfectly with what DocksFest is all about. We are thankful to Gemma and Sonny for partnering with us and we are looking forward to working together to bring another successful music festival to Cleethorpes!”
