In Bollington

There is an epic, multi-day event on Bollington Recreation Ground this weekend, with fun for all the family.

The Bollington Festival (a charity run entirely by volunteers) will mark its 60th anniversary with a sparkling four day Diamond Jubilee Jamboree on the Bollington Recreation Ground, over the May Bank Holiday weekend.

During the mornings and afternoons, there will be lots of fabulous FREE activities for all ages, including live music, creative activities and dance performances.

The highlight of the Jamboree will be the ticketed, open-air, evening concerts on the covered stage, featuring some of the best loved Festival performers from down the years, including OASISH, the UK's premier Oasis tribute band and local favourite, Screaming Beavers, one of England's finest soul bands.

Happy anniversary! And fingers crossed Bollington Festival can be held again soon.
