The family-friendly Sunday line-up for The Preston Weekender will feature live music, magic, and special guests, it’s been revealed.
Family Fest takes place on the early May bank holiday Sunday (3 May). Preston’s Sam Henly will host, with action-packed stage performances from 12pm to 6pm including headline slots from ABBA tribute act Björn Again and magician Harry Moulding.
There will also be stilt-performers, face painters, glitter stations, an interactive circus workshop, a meet and greet with tropical animals at the Wriggly Roadshow, and the chance to get up close and personal with Ranger Mike’s baby dinosaurs.
