“Due to phenomenal demand and the incredible support of the local community, we are adding an extra date making the event three days for the first time ever.

“We’re incredibly excited that the incredible queen of Motown Martha Reeves; operatic sensation and local lad Russell Watson; and Seventies tartan rockers the Bay City Rollers are joining us at the Hale Barns Carnival 2020.

“Each concert promises something completely different to enjoy and experience first-hand.

“With a bigger concert stage and even bigger acts, we want to make this the best Hale Barns Carnival we’ve ever had – and I still can’t believe we’ve got a real Motown legend coming to Hale Barns, it’s just wonderful.

“We’re also looking forward to once again inviting visitors to enjoy the daytime festival atmosphere free of charge. Come and join us for a weekend of live music and family fun – it’s the Summer event you won’t want to miss.”
