Caroline Flack’s family and friends have announced that that Flackstock, the day festival celebrating her life will return for its second year.

The event, held in the grounds of Englefield House, near Pangbourne in Berkshire, will again celebrate Flack’s life with acts from the worlds of comedy, dance and music, and raise money for mental health charities.

Funds raised on the day in July 2023 will be equally split between the charities Choose Love, Mind, Samaritans and Charlie Waller Trust and acts have yet to be announced.

This year, the festival raised £325k raised last year with performances by the likes of Ronan Keating, Tom Grennan, Olly Murs, Natalie Imbruglia and more.

Fleur East, Pixie Lott and Joel Dommett were also among those in the line-up

The event is organised by a committee including Caroline’s mother Christine and sister Jody, her friends Natalie Pinkham, Dawn O’Porter, Anna Blue, Sarah Tyekiff, and Leigh and Jill Francis.

The committee said: “Flackstock was an incredible way to remember our friend Caroline, but it became so much more than that - a place full of joy where people felt comfortable talking about mental health.

“There has been an overwhelming desire for us to return, so we are back with the intention of building Flackstock into a legacy festival to raise money and awareness for a range of brilliant charities. We want everyone to come and join us in 2023 for this magical event.”

Celebrity appearances in 2022 also included Professor Green, TV presenter Dermot O’Leary, Kirsty Gallacher, Paddy McGuinness, Noel Fielding and June Sarpong.

Strictly Come Dancing stars Janette Manrara and her husband Aljaz Skorjanec also arrived at the event.

Love Island presenter Flack, who took her own life at the age of 40 in February 2020, was crowned the winner of Strictly in 2014 alongside her professional partner Pasha Kovalev.

Opening the festival this year, Caroline’s sister Jody told the crowd that everyone performing was a friend of Caroline’s, saying it was an ideal day “full of dancing”.

She told the PA news agency: “This is who she was, this is what she liked, we are sort of encapsulating her today.

“We have tried to do that from the very beginning, our motto was ‘What would Caroline do’ the whole way through.

“Today is definitely a good day, there is a lot of bad ones there have been but today is a good one.”

Tickets will be available from AXS.com on December 15 at 10am.
