Feelgood Festival return, attracting visitors from across the region
THE spirit of the Summer of Love will
be captured this summer in 2 fantastic, free family events at Court Hey Park in
Huyton, Knowsley, attracting visitors from across the North West.
Both the Knowsley Flower Show and Feelgood Festival will be harking back to the
Summer of '67 with a packed schedule of flower power inspired fun and
entertainment.
Taking place on the weekend of 5 August and 6 August 2017, visitors can expect the usual
blend of good food, music, activities and entertainment, at both events.
This year's Feelgood Festival, on Saturday, 5 August 2017, from 1pm to 5pm, is packed with
activities, performances and experiences to help improve your health and
wellbeing. It's a chance to try mindful yoga, various fitness and sporting
activities with Volair and complementary therapies. You can join in with drawing
and painting classes or a 'Feeling Funny' workshop with the Comedy Trust, and
browse a selection of wellbeing craft stalls.
Lush Spa Liverpool will be offering complementary taster treatments and Boots
Pharmacy will offer health advice and summer makeovers. Children will love
entertainment from Zippie and the Bubble Man!
In the main arena there'll be entertainment from Jan Williams Dance School, En
Chord singers and Charlie Reader singing summer hits from the last 50 decades,
including the Beatles. Plus you can browse the stalls at the Geraud Farmer's
Market in the clearing.
Then, on Sunday, 6 August 2017, you can expect even more flower power at the Knowsley
Flower Show, from 11am until 5pm.

including dog displays in the main arena, Geraud's large farmers' market, circus
skills, glitter faces and a health and wellbeing zone plus lots of trade stands.
