Audlem Festival coming up

In just over two weeks time, the best free festival for many a mile will be getting underway.

This year's Audlem Festival promises to be one of the best yet, with a flurry of talented musicians set to take centre stage in what is quickly becoming a must for music lovers from around the UK and beyond.

All this set amongst beautiful artwork, fascinating exhibitions, poetry, face-painting, morris dancers and the electric festival atmosphere we've come to expect.

This year the team are pleased to announce a number of excellent young musicians who haven't performed in Audlem before, but are all making waves in the music world.

These include the remarkably talented Olly Flavell who's recently performed at the LF Arena and Symphony Hall in Birmingham, BBC Shropshire pick Josh Briggs, and TeenStar UK finalist Lydia O'Dowd.

Established festival favourites such as Jim Kirkpatrick, Jack Marshall, Billy Gibbons, Ashley Fayth and Heidi Browne are also all confirmed, so if you haven't already booked off the 21st – 25th May, get it in your calendar now!

The team would like to thank all the local organisations and businesses who have taken out adverts in the programme, along with the core sponsors Morris Care, United Carpets and KMF Precision Sheet Metal. Special thanks should also be given Cheshire East, Audlem Parish Council and ADAS who are continuing support the festival this year.

The printed programme is now available in Audlem pubs and shops. In the build up, check out AudlemOnline regularly for Festival news.
