REMINISCE Festival is back in Sherdley Park for the tenth year this weekend - with 20,000 fans set to descend on St Helens.

With a focus on nostalgic pop and old-school dance tunes, less than just 100 tickets are left on sale for the festival.

The festival has had its controversies over the years, including long queues, security concerns, and WiFi issues in 2021, but for the most part, it has been a hugely popular event that celebrates old-school dance and pop music.
