Here’s just a taster of some of the events during the day:

Yesterday’s Reunion Tent (12pm-8pm) & Clubhouse After party Sponsored by Carlsberg (8pm-12am)

The party of all parties is about to embark upon us for the summer, you’ve all been waiting for this one, the one where the Cheshire set come out to play! Join us on a glamorous journey and a reunion of one of the best venues in the Cheshire countryside including resident DJ’s Jason Herd, David Dunne, Alan Hartley, Nev Johnson, Dave Ellis, JayC, Chris Anslow and Lee Crank. This is not to be missed for all you house music lovers!

For those of you that want to continue to party after the festival finishes you can carry straight through in the clubhouse after party which starts at 8pm until midnight with our Yesterday’s residents. There is a limited ticket allocation for the after party.

Northern Soul, Motown & Modern Soul Tent (12pm-8pm)

House Anthems Tent (12pm-8pm)

A trio of Macclesfield’s finest old skool house DJ’s team up to bring you a House Anthems tent keeping the party pumping throughout the day.

Giant Funfair (10am-8pm)

Ask for the fun fair in certain corners of the North West of England, and they’ll ask if you’re looking for Silcock’s – such is the fame of this long established fairground family from Warrington.

Today, with John Edward Silcock at the helm, JE Silcock’s Amusements is as strong as ever in Lancashire, Cheshire and increasingly further a field. As well as our ‘bread and butter’ fairs in market towns like Leigh and Ashton–in–Makerfield, we’ve also built up showpiece presentations at events like the St Helens Show, Creamfields and “V” music festivals and play a major part in such traditions such as the Warrington Walking Days.

Over many years we have established a good reputation and forged solid links with many local authorities, corporate bodies and other event organisers, as well as regularly assisting Round Table, Rotary Clubs and Lions organisations throughout the North West.

A full and varied range of attractions – from kiddie rides and food kiosks right up to the latest hi–tech thrill rides – means we can cater for almost any event. John Edward Silcock is a member of The Showmen’s Guild of Great Britain.
