A FESTIVAL is gearing up for its return this weekend.

Summer Soul in the Park is coming to Barrow Park Bandstand this Sunday, with funds going towards Action for Children.

All the DJs will be playing the best of ‘Soul Music’ from vinyl only - from Stax to Motown to Northern and Modern Soul.

Event-goers are encouraged to bring their own picnics, chairs, blankets and gazebos.

The event will return to Barrow Park Bandstand on July 18 and admission to the event is free.
