Hightown is to hold its very own festival… and the date for the inaugural event has been set for later this month!
It’s the first time the village has put on such a show and organisers say the sta- ging of it will hopefully ‘bring the community together’.
The festival is part of a wider one-year lottery-funded project designed to encourage ‘community cohesion’ and increase ‘intergenerational activities and events’.
Hightown Parish Council and their partners, which include Sefton Council, Live Parks Love Parks and the Hightown Club, are behind the two-day event, which will feature a wide range of fam- ily-friendly activities, on Saturday, April 21 and Sunday, April 22.
The festival will begin at St. Stephen’s Church Hall from 10am to 1pm with hot breakfast barms and drinks, storytelling sessions for children, a soft play area and a ‘Historic Hightown’ photo exhibi- tion which will then be displayed across all main venues on both days.
There will also be archery taster ses- sions at the playground on Thornbeck Avenue with members of the High Elm Archers at 10am, while from 1pm to 11pm at the Hightown Hotel pub there will be fairground rides and attractions, an outdoor bar and hog roast, live entertainment and evening kids disco and family bingo. A balloon artist will be appearing from 1pm- 3pm.
