Save the Date – Prescot Elizabethan Fayre

Save the Date - Prescot Elizabethan Fayre

Prescot's Elizabethan Fayre will return in June to celebrate the town's Elizabethan heritage.

The FREE fayre is a popular date in Knowsley's annual events calendar and this year will be even more special as Knowsley the Borough also celebrates its 50^th birthday.

There will be plenty for everyone to enjoy. It will be a fun-filled day packed with theatre and dance performances, circus skills, craft workshops, music, artisan stalls and more.

Visitors can also experience a piece of Tudor history, with candle making, musical minstrels, archery and a Tudor kitchen. There might even be an appearance from Queen Elizabeth I herself!

Prescot's history is quite remarkable - in Elizabethan times it was the only place in the whole of the country, aside from London, to have a free-standing purpose-built theatre. Today it is home to Shakespeare North Playhouse, a new theatre and cultural venue in the heart of the town inspired by William Shakespeare and his love of storytelling.
