The Warrington Arts Festival takes place between 18 and 26 July and features some truly must-see attractions. From a full-scale, knitted replica of a house in Great Sankey to a dance paying homage to Mr Smiths, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

In our first ever episode, we speak to Leah and Lauren from Culture Warrington about the festival and what to expect.
