A festival of summer fun will be on offer at Cheshire Oaks.

The McArthurGlen Designer Outlet is running a whole series of free special events to entertain and delight the whole family.

The centre says it will be transformed into a destination for family fun with visitors able to enjoy a grassed area with a pop up bar, BBQ grill shack, children’s games including water walkers and a festival themed seating area.

The ‘Summertime Social’ will officially launch on International Busking Day on Saturday July 23 with two awesome acts. Every Saturday ‘Cheshire Oaks Introduces’ will then showcase a series of live music sessions from local and regional acts throughout the summer.

Anyone who wants to have a go at busking just needs to email the centre to secure their place with a shopping voucher up for grabs for the best performance.
