NEIGHBOURHOOD Weekender returns to Warrington today, Friday, for a three-day celebration of the best of British indie music.
The festival is the brainchild of Simon Moran – the founder of SJM Concerts and a former Woolston High student.
Victoria Park's transformation into the Neighbourhood Weekender site
His team are putting the finishing touches to the transformation of Victoria Park which includes three stages – the Main Stage, the Big Top and the Viola Beach Stage – before around 25,000 people descend on the Latchford site each day.
There will also be plenty of other quirky features like The Neighbourhood Inn pub, DJ sets at The Corner Shop and new this year The Library silent discos.

Victoria Park's main car park temporarily closed in the last week of August to allow the main prep work to take place and yesterday, Thursday, our photographer Dave Gillespie to share some photos from behind the scenes.
This year, the Neighbourhood headliners are Glaswegian singer-songwriter and live favourite Gerry Cinnamon, indie giants James and anthemic rockers Catfish and the Bottlemen.
