The events brought independent street food traders, live music, face painting, games, community stalls and outdoor seating into the heart of the town centre. Free cycling activities, guided rides and bike-repair support also helped connect the programme with Tawd Valley Park and the town’s green spaces.

Designed for families, young people and visitors of all ages, the events created new reasons to spend time in Skelmersdale town centre during the summer holidays.

Solid Ground managed the event planning, trader and performer coordination, marketing and on-site delivery. The programme formed part of Tawd Valley Developments’ wider placemaking strategy, supporting the long-term regeneration and masterplan for Skelmersdale town centre.
