Music lovers and families across Sefton are in for a treat this weekend as the annual Bootle Ukulele Fun Festival (BUFF) returns to The Lock & Quay for a massive two-day event.
Taking place tomorrow, Saturday 22nd August, and Sunday 23rd August, this year’s festival marks a major milestone as organisers celebrate BUFF’s 10th birthday.
The free-to-enter event features music spread across two stages, the Lock Stage and the Quay Stage, bringing together an eclectic line-up of acts from across Merseyside. Doors open at 10.00am on both days, with food stalls and an outdoor bar available on-site.
