“Our pigs are one of a kind and love to socialise and dance to music."
A festival that is taking place in the UK is offering visitors a very unique opportunity.
People attending The Ochard Pig Gig will have the chance to interact with the pigs while enjoying music.
The vegan- friendly festival is taking place at Pigs in the Woods sanctuary, Huddersfield a sanctuary for abused and abandoned pigs.
Pigs will roam free around the 'world's first festival for pigs', and interact with music lovers.
This event is aimed to raise funds for the protection of abused and abandoned pigs.
Operations director, Russell Haggata told The Mirror:
“Our pigs are one of a kind and love to socialise and dance to music.
"They can’t wait for this year's Orchard Pig Gig. Our sanctuary wouldn’t exist without the generosity of donations, and we’re aiming to raise over £50,000 to improve the facilities for our pigs, so that everyone can experience the joy these animals can bring"
Brand manager at Orchard Pig, Emily Gray said:
“Our mantra is to go pig or go home and what better way to do that than to host the world’s first gig for pigs – putting on an amazing show while supporting the wonderful team at Pigs in the Woods.
"Just like people, pigs deserve a home, and we believe they also deserve to party. It’s what makes this partnership so exciting; we’re helping to drive awareness and protection of these fabulous animals, but we’re also giving them the chance to get down and boogie at the same time.”
The festival hopes to raise awareness and education around ‘micro pigs’, and people selling pigs as pets.
