THE charity Cumbria Animal and Hen rescue has lowered the price of its charity gig tickets amid the cost-of-living crisis.

The charity reduced the prices of the tickets to £5, after previously marketing them at £10. They said: "Some people who we know have said they could not afford it due to the increase in the cost of living."

The gigs will include tribute acts for Marilyn Manson, Blink 182, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, The Clash and Rage Against the Machine.

Cumbria Animal and Hen rescue said: "It is only fair everyone who wants to come can afford."

The events will be held in April and May.
