Tatton Park Pop Up festival in Cheshire has announced 52 events for families and festival-goers this summer.
The outdoor boutique festival in Knutsford will feature 10 weeks of music and entertainment performances between July and August – from shows with ABBA songs to showcases with dinosaurs.
Acts during the day will be suitable for children, and the party will get going at night for those over 18.
Events include ABBA Mania – the world’s number one touring ABBA tribute – and live performances of science show Brainiac.
For the children (and young at heart), there’s also Jurassic Earth – a unique, immersive dinosaur experience for all ages, combining animatronics, performances, and the opportunity to walk with a Triceratops, roar with T-Rex, scream with a Spinosaurus and run with a Raptor!
For over 18s, Symphonic Ibiza will celebrate the past 30 years of Ibiza with a live orchestra, high tempo DJ beats and vocals.
Other events taking place at Tatton Park Pop Up include Milkshake! Live, Judge Jules Live, Craig Charles, and Brutus Gold’s Love Train.

The festival is set in 2,000 acres of parkland, and will be Cheshire’s first socially distanced outdoor festival.
The website promises “spectacular entertainment, great food and cocktails against a stunning lakeside backdrop within your own private, fully furnished pitch area.”
There’s even the option for a VIP package, which gives you champagne on arrival, prime seating, luxury furniture, a private VIP Bar and table service.
Two nights of Noah Kahan at AO Arena, Manchester – tickets, times, and more for 2026 tour
Lydia Mastrolonardo
Noah Kahan isn’t just gracing Mancunians with his presence once this autumn, we’re lucky enough to host him for two nights of his world tour.
The two-time Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter is heading back to the UK for his biggest tour to date, two years after his last appearance in our city when he played to a packed-out Co-op Live.
Noah Kahan has taken the world by storm in recent years following the release of his acclaimed third album in 2022, Stick Season, which sat in the UK album chart for three years. He has almost 15 billion global streams, sold nearly 12 million albums, and earned 22 Platinum and Gold certifications to date – he’s not doing half bad, is he?
This tour is in support of his fourth studio album, The Great Divide, which is said to build on Kahan’s signature storytelling, encapsulating his thoughts on grappling with success, identity, family, distance, and unspoken truths.
Not only does Kahan provide us with the best music to cry it all out to, he also founded a mental health non-profit, The Busyhead Project, which has raised over $13 million in support of its mission to increase awareness around the importance of mental health.
Without further ado, here’s everything you need to know.

Who is supporting Noah Kahan at the AO Arena?

Manchester Christmas Markets 2026 – prices for beer, mulled wine, bratwurst, and more
Emily Sergeant
It’s timeeeeee… Manchester Christmas Markets are officially open for 2026.
Now in their 27th year, Manchester Christmas Markets are known and loved for bringing thousands of people into the city centre each year to fill up on the fantastic festive treats and soak up all the Christmas atmosphere.
This year sees an even bigger return of Albert Square, and there’s also some new locations too for 2026. Lincoln Square has joined in on the action, and there’s also some big changes to St Ann’s Square – with what is being described as a ‘brand new layout’, bringing in a bigger number of market stalls.
There’s a total of 210 stalls spread out across the city centre, but we know there’s one question on everyone’s lips… ‘what’s it gonna cost me?’.
We’ve been running around the markets this morning checking out all the prices on things like beer, mulled wine, bratwurst, and more, so without further ado, here’s everything you need to know.
