What People Say About WN7 FEST
Don't just take our word for it. WN7 FEST is a two-day family music festival at Leigh Miners Welfare, and the thing we're proudest of is how families talk about it afterwards — the atmosphere, the brilliant tribute acts, the street food and the value. Here's a flavour of the feedback we love to hear.
Straight From The Festival Field
From toddlers in the Kids Zone to grandparents up dancing on the Friday, WN7 FEST is built for the whole family — and that comes through loud and clear in what people tell us. The quotes below capture the kind of feedback we hear time and again about our weekend in Leigh.
Honestly the best family day out we've had in ages. The kids barely sat still — fairground rides, face painting, the lot — and we got to actually enjoy the music for once. We'll be back every year.
— Sarah, Manchester
The atmosphere was brilliant from the minute we walked in. Friendly crowd, proper community feel, and everyone in such good spirits. It felt like a festival run by people who genuinely care about the town.
— Tom & family, Warrington
My two were absolutely buzzing about the Kids Zone. They went on the rides about a hundred times and won a goldfish on the hook-a-duck. Tired and happy on the way home — that's the dream.
— Megan, Wigan
The street food alone was worth the ticket. Stone-baked pizza, smokehouse BBQ and a 99 for the little one. So much choice, and you didn't feel fleeced on the prices like you do at the big festivals.
— Dave, Leigh
The tribute acts were spot on — better than I expected, full stop. We sang along all afternoon and the band on the main stage had the whole field bouncing. Top quality for a local festival.
— Priya, Bolton
Three generations of us came along and every single one had a brilliant time. The grandkids loved the rides, we loved the music, and Nana even had a dance. You can't put a price on a day like that.
— The Hughes family, St Helens
I'd never tried line dancing before the Friday Country Music Day and now I'm hooked. Lovely sociable evening, great band, and a proper laugh learning the steps with a field full of strangers.
— Joanne, Atherton
So easy to get to — straight in from the motorway and we were parked and through the gate in no time. For the money it's unbeatable value. We've already told half our street about it.
— Mark & Lisa, Tyldesley
