STOCKTON Heath Festival is returning, with art and cultural events for all ages in and around the village from Thursday June 29 to Sunday July 2.
What can you expect from this year’s Festival? Each year the line-up varies to ensure diverse interests are catered for, and 2023 is no exception. The festival weekend attracts thousands to the region to enjoy the activities that also help businesses and the community come together.
As seen on TV is a cliche, yet the Festival is bringing the much-acclaimed BBC1’s All Together Now star, Paulus to the region. This unique and funny tribute celebrates Victoria Wood through characters, songs, and sketches including Mrs Overall, Barry and Freda. Other highlights include Sublime Science, approved by Dragon’s Den and the Dog Show. Back by popular demand is Illyria open-air theatre performing Twelfth Night in Grappenhall Walled Garden, Bubble Man, the art exhibition, and the incredible sound of Soul Federation.
Other attractions include history walks to discover stories of the region from Roman times to today, poetry, and Strictly Stockton Heath (your chance to try out different dance styles), shows for children, and live music including classical, jazz, choral and indie.
