*****Event Cancelled***
Leighton Live will take place this June with headliners including UB40, Ministry of Sound Disco, The Halle and Sister Sledge.
The one-off festival, sponsored by Booths, will take place on the Queen’s Jubilee bank holiday weekend (Friday 3rd - Sunday 5th June), in the historic grounds of Leighton Hall Estate in Carnforth.
With an incredible lineup of live music, plus a premier regional street food and craft beer offering on site, the festival looks to be an event that's not to be missed.
On the opening day (Friday 3rd June), taking to the stage will be the iconic band UB40, featuring lead singer Ali Campbell. The English reggae and pop band formed in 1978 and had more than 50 singles in the UK charts and also achieved considerable international success. Support will come from Reggae Roast with lots more to be announced.
Saturday (4th June) will be a day and night filled with dancing as iconic disco family Sister Sledge , who played at Highest Point in 2018, perform followed by a brand-new live show from Ministry of Sound Disco, a 15-piece band celebrating the very best in disco and house hits. The ‘We are Family’ singers are an American vocal group which consists of four sisters that formed in 1971, achieving huge international success. There will be DJ sets throughout the day from Hacienda legend Graeme Park and Manchester’s premier club night, Funkademia.
To close the festival on Sunday (5th June) there will be an all day picnic with activities for all of the family with the highlight of the evening coming from The Hallé symphony orchestra who will present the magnificent Last Night of the Proms with very special guest soprano Laura Wright. Expect plenty of sing-alongs and flag waving. The weekend will end on a high with a huge firework display.
Whilst the weekend is going to be filled with incredible music, there is also the opportunity to explore the beautiful grounds of Leighton Hall, the ancestral home of the world-renowned Gillow furniture family, with its extensive lawns and 19th century Walled Garden. There will be plenty for the whole family to enjoy across the weekend with access to a woodland walk, and an adventure playground on site.
