WelliFest is set to transform the streets of Wellingborough town centre during the weekend of September 22 and 23.

The town’s community, including schools and voluntary groups, are being asked to come together to celebrate their town.

Those who can sing, dance, perform magic or entertain an audience with any other talent are sought to perform on a purpose-built stage on the Tithe Barn lawns.

John Cable, executive director of Wellingborough Business Improvement District which is organising the event, said: “We are delighted that our second WelliFest is returning in September.

“We’re inviting everyone to join us for a good time and to celebrate all the town has to offer.

“This year we have a Steampunk theme, which promises to provide a weekend with all sorts of quirky and fun activities culminating in a Steampunk Cabaret at The Castle Theatre.
