Live performance - St Mary's Creative Space - Friday 3 July
This Friday evening, St Mary's Creative Space will host acclaimed American singer-songwriter Brennen Leigh.
Kicking off at 7.30pm, the show brings together Brennen Leigh, known for her classic storytelling style and country-influenced songwriting, alongside special guest Jackson Ward, a UK-based country artist from Chorley.
Leigh is celebrated for her sharp lyricism and traditional country influences, with a reputation as both a distinctive vocalist and highly regarded songwriter within the Americana scene.
Tickets are £20 in advance. They can be purchased here, or from Grey n Pink Records.
Author event - Books on the Walls - Saturday 4 July
Books on the Walls will host a book signing with Christopher Tradgett on Saturday 4 July from 2pm to 2.30pm.
The free drop-in event invites visitors to meet the author and hear about his writing journey, including how he began writing fiction through Storyhouse's 'Write Here, Write Now' group.
His debut novel Just Another Tuesday in Manhattan developed from early short stories, one of which was featured at the Northwich Literature Festival 2025 before expanding into a full-length book. The novel went on to be named Readers' Choice at the Open Book Awards 2025.
Visitors can drop in during the afternoon to speak with the author and explore his journey from short-form writing to published novelist.
