Popular Stockton Heath Festival is returning to the village this weekend

THE ever-popular Stockton Heath Festival returns tomorrow, Thursday.

It was established back in 2008 by a small but determined group of volunteers.

The festival takes place each year over an extended weekend in July and aims to bring together the whole community to celebrate art, culture, and heritage.

This year will see the likes of choirs, competitions, a dog show, storytelling, dance, theatre and craft, an artisan market and more.

There will be something for everyone, with many free events taking place from Thursday to Sunday.

On Thursday, events include an art exhibition, Warrington Male Voice Choir, The Comedy Night, and My Friend Miss Flint.

On Friday, the Diamond Jubilee Field will come alive for the opening night double bill. Festivalgoers will be able to enjoy the Rock Night concert.

Meanwhile, Saturday is jam packed with events, including performances from choirs, dance schools, singers, and more.

Then on Sunday, there will be even more events to choose from and there will be further performances.

The Diamond Jubilee Field in the village will act as the main festival field, with a buzzing atmosphere and surrounded by marquees, an artisan market, food and drink outlets and much more.

Other activities take place in various locations across the village
