Strawberry Field has announced a Beatles mini-convention as part of their summer line-up of events running from July 24 to September 9.

Summer at Strawberry Field has lined up a number of artists playing live in the gardens and on the new Strawberry Field Bandstand.

To celebrate the Beatles, the summer programme includes events around International Beatleweek in August, with a Beatles mini-convention, a performance from TR5s and a session for children to form a skiffle band.

The Mersey Beatles, who are holding Liverpool's biggest-ever Beatles tribute show at the M&S Bank Arena later in the year, will be meeting and greeting fans before performing a one-of-a-kind intimate performance on the bandstand.

Events also include the Sing Your Socks Off choir and the Anglia Youth Band & Chorus, along with Tom Seals who will also be playing on the bandstand.

Accompanying the live music, there will also be family events taking place throughout the summer weeks, such as Get Back to Play. Every Tuesday until the end of August, children and parents/carers are invited to join in family crafts and play, with traditional toys and games in the gardens where John Lennon once played as a child.

Activities vary throughout the summer, with a special Beatles-themed event taking place on August 29, in which children will be able to listen to music and make their own skiffle band.
