Thousands of people are expected to turn out to see more than 50 acts perform at Lymelight Festival this weekend.

Now in its 13th year, the free festival returns to Newcastle-under-Lyme on Saturday 23 and and Sunday 24 May with two days of live music, culture and town centre energy.

The event will host three outdoor stages across the Guildhall, Ironmarket and the 6 Towns Radio Acoustic Stage outside Keele in Town, plus a wider programme in venues and spaces across the town. Acts appearing include Greg Murray, Jorge Wilson and Ava Ralph.

Live music will continue into the evening at venues including The Crossways, The Rigger and Artisan Tap. Visitors can also enjoy street food, Castle Artisan Market traders, pop-up activity from Drop City Books, and free creative workshops.

On Sunday morning, visitors can also take part in a free ‘Stretch & Start’ session at Divinity Studios.
