A FAMILY fun day was held at Cueworld in Grimsby to raise funds for the charity Oxfam.
Three local bands performed at the music festival, which also featured face painting and games for youngsters.
The Oxjam festival was organised by 11-year-old schoolgirl Chantelle Bennett, with the help of her friends and family.
Chantelle, of Barnetby, said: "I wanted to organise a charity gig and looked on the internet for a charity I would like to support.
"I saw that Oxjam events were happening all over the country and thought it would be a good idea to organise one in Grimsby.
"Oxfam fights poverty and helps children in third-world countries who are not as fortunate as we are."
The event was kicked off by a performance from circus entertainers the Earthbound Misfits, and also included games and face painting for the children as well as craft and jewellery stalls.
Chantelle added: "The Earthbound Misfits were really good and the audience really enjoyed it. The kids have been playing games – nobody has been shy and just sat in the corner – and lots of people have bought raffle tickets."
The evening featured live music from Muse tribute band bMUSEd, The Undecidables and Until Destruction. It was the debut gig for The Undecidables, a four-piece rock band whose members all study at the Grimsby Institute.
Bassist Josh Fawn, 16, of Cleethorpes, said: "We have performed once at the college, but this is our first gig proper. It's exciting.
"We play anything from Muse to the Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Script."
Among those helping Chantelle to make the day a success were her mum Anna, grandmother Eileen, who sold her homemade jewellery, and cousin Ella.
Ella, 9, of Grimsby, said: "I have been helping sell the jewellery on the stall. I have enjoyed it."
