Hitchfest

Hitchfest, taking place this summer in the grounds of The Bickerton Poacher, will have a line-up of popular bands and top class tribute acts as well as many attractions for young families.

The event takes place on Saturday, July 8 and the landmark pub, which has camping facilities, hopes to create a true festival vibe for people from miles around. 

Stage acts already lined up include hugely popular Abba tribute Abbarella, well-known Merseyside radio presenter and DJ Pete Price and Wirral-based covers band The Tone Junkies and Insanity Beach, who perform rock classics from Bon Jovi and Guns N’ Roses. 

A full line up of nine acts, including more local bands and musicians, will be confirmed over the coming weeks.

Attractions will also include food and beer marquees, donkey rides, bouncy castles and fun fair games.

The Wrexham Road pub is set on the famous Sandstone Trail and campers can stay for one night or the weekend to enjoy a full festival experience and views of the Bickerton Hills.

Hitchfest will support the Lions once again as well as St John’s Ambulance and women and girls health and wellbeing charity Motherwell Cheshire.

Tickets are £20 for adults and £7.50 for children under 15. Family tickets, admitting two adults and two children, are £50.

Weekend camping can be booked in advance online. Camping on the day will be on a first come, first served basis.
