Sefton Park Social is a new music, food and drink festival experience launching in spring.

The festival will include everything from disco, soul, Motown, jazz, Latin, folk, country, indie, 80s, 90s and beyond. The programme kicks off on the first May bank holiday (May 4, 5) with the Saturday event as an official fundraiser for Africa Oyé to help ensure it remains free.

Sefton Park Social will celebrate the life and music of Fela Kuti and Bob Marley and their influences with Trenchtown and Freetown DJs taking to the stage plus more, including 'Jazz in the Park' events, which will be announced soon.
