Formby Festival is set to return bigger and better than ever this July


Formby Festival began in 2013, since then it has grown into the pinnacle of Formby’s summer calendar. Each year families travel from across the North West to enjoy the delights we have on offer! There are countless food and drink stalls from all around the world. There is an amazing main stage which offers a wide variety of music and entertainment, and a variety of the specialist children’s entertainment. We are proud to say that “there is truly is something for everyone to enjoy!”


Formby Festival was set up to try and recreate the old Formby Show that was a highlight across the country many years ago. We set out to create a new event with a twist which could incorporate food, drink and music and last for a weekend offering something for all ages. It has since grown over the past few years and is firmly set on the calendar as the third weekend in July. Over 10,000 people attend this event and it is growing each year.


Every year we aim to make Formby Festival even better than the last. We’re excited to announce that we’ll be having a tribute night on Friday 14th July! This will be a must-see, so make sure you’ve got your tickets already.


ROBBIE WILLIAMS

The World’s No. 1 Robbie Tribute - Recognized as one of the leading Robbie Williams Tribute Acts, this superb tribute act has appeared on Channel 4 and ITV and has performed in 15 countries! Not only does he look the image of Robbie, he sings and entertains exactly like the main man himself.


CILLA BLACK

The Cilla Show: Step Inside Love - Step inside Love is an authentic, respectful and professional tribute to the much loved, national treasure Cilla Black who sadly passed away recently. The Cilla Show – Step Inside Love, features the amazing vocals and talent of Kate Bell and will take you back to the golden musical era of 60's and 70's!


Formby Festival is proud to offer cookery demonstrations from award winning chefs across the North West region, courtesy of generous sponsorship from the local food store Waitrose. Formby Festival Resident Chef, James Holden, from the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts will be showcasing Waitrose products and showing how to create some of the finest recipes offered on the Waitrose Food website.
