This year, we're bringing you something brand new: Family Fest! Fun and entertainment for all the family, with live bands + more
Hosted by Preston's Sam Henly, you can look forward to a day out with the kids like no other.
The world's only "ABBA endorsed" performers Björn Again will be headlining on the main stage in the afternoon, and you should come prepared to be genuinely amazed as magician Harry Moulding, the winner of last year’s Britain’s Got Talent and a Royal Variety Performance star, leaves you stunned and doubting your own eyes.
And that's all on top of:
Younger guests (plus mum and dad, if they fancy it…) will be able to join an interactive circus workshop, take part in a ‘meet and greet’ with some real, incredible tropical animals at the Wriggly Roadshow, and get up close and personal with Ranger Mike’s baby dinosaurs!
Plus there’ll be stilt-performers, face painters, glitter stations and mayhem with local legend, the infamous ‘Taz’.
You'll love it and so will the kids.
Why you can't miss it:
Sunday 3rd May, 12-6pm, Preston's Flag Market
Björn Again have amassed over 5,500 performances in 75 countries, having performed for the Royal Family, supported Cher, the Spice Girls and Shania Twain on world tours, played Knebworth, and opened countless festivals.
ABBA’s Benny said that Bjorn Again really sounds like the original group and are the ‘closest thing you’ll get to seeing ABBA live’ with Björn Ulvaeus confirming that Björn Again are considered the world's only "ABBA endorsed" act.
ABBA’s music transcends ages, this show is a musical, visual triumph, from beginning to end!
Regarded as one of the best magicians of his generation, Harry's originality, mixed with character and unique creativity, will have all the family gasping with delight as he shares his talent.
You'll be in good company - he's performed for various Prime Ministers, Royals, Olly Murs and, of course, Simon Cowell.
You're sure to be left stunned, asking yourself "how is that even possible?"
