LOCAL bands and musicians will be taking to the stage over the weekend to once again provide the perfect accompaniment to food and drink.
More than 70 bands, singers and entertainers will be taking to two stages over the Bank Holiday Weekend.

On the Acoustic Bar stage headliners will be The Jelly Heads.
On Saturday, The Lancashire Hotpots, a comedy folk band from St Helens, will entertain the crowds on the Festival Stage.
Talented members of Bolton Ukele Group will take to the Festival stage earlier in the day. Bolton covers band Trident, will headline at the Acoustic Bar.
Elvis tribute act Tommy Holland will rock the Festival Stage on Sunday.
