The event offers live music from big name acts on the main stage located within the grounds of the beautiful Grade 1 listed Rochdale Town Hall, providing a stunning backdrop to the festival.

The Festival also holds a Battle of the Bands competition giving local bands the chance to open the Festival.

The Festival showcases live cookery demonstrations in the Feel Good Kitchen from some of the world's best known celebrity chefs, along with a food village offering alfresco dining and a vibrant outdoor market.

In addition, there are a wide range of activities for children including Bugs, Bees & Beasties, face painting and fairground rides.
