Massive congratulations to Jo and Bryn who became engaged under the Kendal Calling globe! They met through Festival Angels at Leeds a few years ago!

Bryn Wilson, 54, and Jo Lynch, 54, from Leeds and York, got engaged on Thursday beneath Kendal’s Lost Eden Earth while working as part of the Festival Angels team.

Bryn used a Haribo ring to propose and the pair plan to get a real ring later.

Jo said while she normally likes to stay in the know of everything going on that Bryn succeeded in surprising her with the proposal.

She said: “I thought he’s never going to catch me out with it, but he really did!

“He got down on one knee with a Haribo ring, I think we’ve gone through a whole bag over the last four days!”

The pair have volunteered for the organisation for around nine years covering Leeds fest but only properly crossed paths and started to speak to one another around three years ago.

They really liked each other, but with various things going on in their lives, it wasn’t until the following year that they started to date.

Bryn said: “It’s been an absolutely brilliant weekend because she said yes.”

The pair have volunteered at Kendal Calling for the past two years and it means a lot to them, as it marks some of their first proper time spent together as a couple.

Bryn said he planned in advance to propose at the festival as it has a friendly, calm and open atmosphere.

Bryn said he was excited to propose to Jo and added: “I just want to spend the rest of my life with her.”

Some of the Festival Angel team also threw the couple a little surprise celebration on their engagement with cake and prosecco handed out in their tent.

The pair plan to return to Kendal Calling to volunteer again next year.
