Rainford: Pixie Lott to headline 2025 Picnic in the Park

Launched by Phil Thomas in 2017, 'Picnic in the Park' has grown from a small festival into a extremely popular community event each summer in Rainford.

Offering something for all the family, the not-for-profit festival now attracts crowds of around 3,500 people and has attracted acts such as Scouting For Girls and 'Boyzlife' to headline the festival.

With tickets now on sale for next summer's event, organisers have announced that Pixie Lott will be Picnic in the Park's headliner for 2025.
