What to know

Visit Cheshire lists this free Rufus Court festival from 12:30 to 22:00, with live music through the day plus art, garden games and family activity. The bill includes Gilad Atzmon presents Organology, The Stumble, Bossa Dos Patos, Dr T-Bone, Ashley Fayth and Northwich Uke Club.

Useful city-centre Sunday option if you want music and family activity without committing to a ticketed gig. Rufus Court is compact, so treat the free price as a reason to arrive with patience rather than at the last minute.
