Councillor Roy Gladden, Chair of the Walton Festival organising committee said:-
"Walton Festival proved hugely popular when it returned last year.
We have consulted with schools, community organisations, local businesses and
residents about what else they would like to see at the festival as it's very
much their event.
There is already a buzz in the local community and all we need is for the sun to
come out and we'll be set for a great weekend."
