A ‘gourmet food village’ from Bombay Brew, Benjamin’s Italian, Yankashire Diner, La Petit Café and Baci di Gelato completes the day’s lineup.

Organiser Ben Wright said: “The festival is a brand new one-day family festival and the first event of its kind since Covid in Rochdale. The event has already attracted around 1,000 ticket sales.

“Milnrow Calling is set to be a great day out!”

The event runs from 1pm -10pm, and children under the age of six go free.

Milnrow Calling is sponsored by PGC Demolition.
