An all-new family friendly festival is set to roar into Cheshire this summer.
The Cheshire Festival of Power will take place over the August Bank Holiday weekend in the stunning surroundings of the 50-acre Ashley Hall Showground near Altrincham.
Over the 27-28 a host of attractions for petrolheads, music lovers and even those who prefer their festivals of the food and drink variety, will be available.
Car enthusiasts won’t want to miss the Motor Brand Showcase which will feature classic and supercar paddocks packed with exclusive models like Bentley, Rolls Royce, McLaren, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Nissan Nismo, Tesla and more.
There will also be classic and superbikes – including Ducati and Honda – on display.
A host of car clubs will be in attendance, for those looking to learn more about their favourite motors, as well as a steam and traction engine display.
A daredevil zip line and watersports will complement a traditional funfair with GB Helicopters displaying one of their fleet next to the main stage.
Special arena entertainment will be led by Bolddog FMX, the UK’s top freestyle motocross display team, which will captivate audiences with its daring stunts and non-stop aerial action including the ‘Superman seat grab’, ‘switch blade’ and ‘kiss of death’.
And the arena will also host Nick Gregory’s Misselchalke Gundogs. The internationally recognised dog trainer, who is in demand on both sides of the Atlantic, will showcase his skillful training techniques with the assistance of a range of gundogs from spaniels to Labradors and from puppies to fully trained animals in this unmissable, family-friendly show.
Two nights of live music will also take place on the main stage, with the iconic Heather Small headlining Saturday 27 August and disco legends Boney M, featuring Maisie Williams headlining on Sunday 28.
They will be joined by a full programme of live music on stage throughout the two days.
Festivalgoers will also be able to enjoy a wide range of delicious and carefully chosen gourmet food and drink options – with the festival beer being Moretti, and an artisan Makers Market packed with gift and craft stalls.
And ahead of the festival, organisers are promising an amazing family car raffle. The winning ticket will be picked live at the event itself – with the prize being a new family car worth up to £60,000.
The festival's Managing Director, Sir Peter Grainger said: "We’re absolutely delighted to bring this great new event to Cheshire, and we know all our visitors will have a fantastic time this August Bank Holiday.
"We plan to grow the Cheshire Festival of Power into a permanent annual event and number one choice for car fanatics, music lovers, foodies and for families who enjoy a social day out together."
VIP Experience tickets include fast track entrance, access to a VIP area with special bars, foodstalls and toilets, a complimentary glass of champagne or bottle of premium beer, and entrance to the Secret Wood – an exclusive cosy lantern-lit area behind the main stage with bespoke music, bars and food.
And an Ultimate Hospitality Experience includes the full VIP package with the addition of access to a caddy to go to any location in the festival, a drinks/table package in the hospitality suite, and a meet-and-greet with the headline acts.
All tickets are subject to a booking fee.
