The people behind the festival

Our Partners

WN7 FEST is a community two-day family festival, and it only happens because of the people who stand behind it. From the venue that hosts us to the traders who feed the crowd and the platform that runs our ticketing, here are the partners and sponsors who help bring WN7 FEST to life at Leigh Miners Welfare in 2027.

The Partners Who Make It Happen

A festival is a team effort. Behind every great day out at WN7 FEST there is a venue opening its gates, traders setting up before dawn, and the technology quietly keeping ticketing and entry running smoothly. We are proud to work with each of them, and we would not be the festival we are without them.

Powered by ApexGo

Our ticketing and event operations are powered by ApexGo, the platform that handles everything from early bird sales to entry on the day. It means your tickets are secure, your booking is simple, and the queue at the gate keeps moving — so you can get on with enjoying the festival. Having a trusted technology partner behind the scenes is one of the quiet reasons a community festival like ours can run as smoothly as the big names.

Our Venue — Leigh Miners Welfare

WN7 FEST has a proper home, and that home is Leigh Miners Welfare — the community venue at the heart of Leigh in Greater Manchester that hosts the festival each year. Its flat, friendly grounds are perfect for families, pushchairs and a full street food village, and its place in the local community is exactly the spirit WN7 FEST was built on. We are grateful to the Welfare for opening its gates to us and giving the festival a place to call its own.

Our Food Traders

The street food traders are the ones who truly bring the festival to life — the smell of the smokehouse, the sizzle of the grills and the queue for a sweet treat are all part of the WN7 FEST atmosphere. In 2026 our food village welcomed a brilliant line-up of independent traders, including:

  • Smoke on Dees
  • Greek Food Truck
  • Salt and Pepper Chicken
  • Pizza Milan
  • Burgers and Hotdogs
  • Mrs Potato Head UK
  • Sweet Truck
  • Doughnut and Waffle
  • Churro Van
  • Debbie’s Brownies
  • Charlie’s Ice Cream

You can see the full picture of what is on offer over on our food page.

Let's talk about 2027

Whether you are interested in sponsorship, a partnership, or trading in our food village, the best way to start the conversation is to drop us a message on social. We do not have a public email address, so please send us a message on Facebook or Instagram and we will get back to you. Tell us a little about your business and what you have in mind, and we will take it from there.
