Halton is holding its first Eco Fest on Saturday 12 August in Victoria Park, Widnes, from 12 noon to 4pm.

The event is free entry and is part of the Imagine Bamboo is Everywhere project by Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, Culture Liverpool and Imagineer.

Imagine Bamboo is Everywhere are family-friendly outdoor events with giant bamboo structures, playful performances, music, circus workshops and crafting, happening across the region this August.

Marvel at large-scale artworks made by local artists, with bamboo harvested locally from Ness Botanic Gardens.

Enjoy music from the Imagine Bamboo Orchestra, led by Pagoda Arts with young musicians from across the region. Look out for promenade physical theatre performances, run away with the bamboo circus, then have a go at making your own creation in our bamboo crafting zone.
