ST HELENS town centre will be transformed into a carnival of music, arts, crafts, and magical street performance on Saturday, organisers say.
One Amazing Day will include a massive peddle-powered "Stephenson's Rocket" train, a huge chicken and three soaring swallows, glass making, beekeeping, lino printing, a copper samovar and two acrobatic cats.
Organisers are also promising an "amazing parade led by Mrs Beecham's exploding monster".
