Blending street theatre, music, and eco-conscious creativity, this Lancashire-based group creates a joyful, participatory experience where audiences become part of the performance. Expect feel-good vibes, playful chaos, and a celebration of making, movement, and community. From 9 am to 3pm on Saturday 27 June
Gather@ is also working in collaboration with The Drop Off Cafe in Edenfield to present Move. Mind. Music. a beginner-friendly wellbeing experience combining guided walks, yoga, mindfulness, expert nutrition and fitness advice, a healthy brunch, and live acoustic music from 9am to 1pm on Saturday 27 June
The festival is designed to create memorable experiences for locals while welcoming visitors and supporting the local economy.
The long-term ambition is simple: to grow Gather@ into a Rossendale-wide celebration, where every town and village in the Valley plays a part. A music festival put on for music lovers, by music lovers.
