A spectacular UFO experience and alien invasion hovering over Bank Park brought the curtain down on Warrington Arts Festival in style on Saturday evening.
The close encounter for true believers and family audiences of all ages landed in Bank Park for a mysterious open air show called StarSaucer.
Outdoor theatre specialists, The Dream Engine, kept the details of this newly developed performance a surprise – and didn’t fail to deliver to the watching audience who patiently waited for the magic to begin.
Amid a haze of smoke and the whir of a warp drive, this arts festival finale delivered strange a spectacular experience as enigmatic alien figures emerged to respond to their new environment.
Youngsters ran around screaming with excitement as the aliens mingled with the crowd as ET met Close Encounters.
As with many of the festival’s performances, StarSaucer was a free to attend event thanks to funding and support from Arts Council England, Warrington Borough Council and Warrington BID.
Video clips of the performance can be seen below on Warrington-Worldwide’s Facebook feed.
