St Helens Festival Returns - And it's Going to be Bigger and Better

Following on from last year’s inaugural event, the St.Helens Festival is back by popular demand on 5th and 6th July 2008.

The largest event in this year’s Council calendar, the Festival is being held at Sherdley Park and will open from 12 noon daily.

Spread over two days, the free Festival (which replaced the St.Helens Show) will celebrate the Borough’s rich cultural heritage and wealth of talent through a packed programme which includes music, sport, arts, culture and much more.

St.Helens Festival also gives business’ the opportunity to trade and exhibit their products in a parkland setting offering prime outdoor retail space.

The Music Pavilion will host some of the best music and bands that the region has to offer, with support from The Citadel Arts centre, St.Helens Music Net and St.Helens Musicians Collective.

The Lancashire Hotpots have been confirmed as the headline act for Sunday 6th July.

Other attractions with a ‘fun for all’ theme include a Children's World with donkey rides, inflatables, entertainers, a Main Arena with live stunt shows, a Sports Quarter, a Country and Heritage Section, Classic Cars and a fairground to name just a few.
