Live entertainment includes a duo of dancing jellyfish, a troupe of Lancashire Cloggers and an orchestra of flutes.

And Punch and Judy will be on the loose, daring unsuspecting passers-by to take the Great Deckchair Challenge.

Event organiser, Kate Drummond said: “I want the event to be welcoming and fun, a festival for kids and families providing free, inspiring activities and entertainment right in the middle of the summer holidays - at a time when many families are looking for interesting and affordable ways to spend time together.
