Jurassic Earth, Martin Kemp and ABBA Mania among line-up announced as Tatton Park Pop-Up festival returns for 2022

A whole summer of events ranging from family events, live music and tribute acts have been confirmed for the return of the Tatton Park Pop Up Festival for summer 2022.

Set amidst stunning scenery next to Tatton Park ’s picturesque lake - and with a new layout for 2022 - the line-up includes ABBA Mania direct from the West End, Martin Kemp with an ultimate 80s DJ set, children's festival Kidchella and dinosaurs roaring back to the park with Jurassic Earth for a series of dino events.

Evening events will include a Rocket Man tribute show to Elton John, Symphonic Ibiza and Bohemian Disco, while there will also be a Madhatter's Tea Party family event and the popular Greatest Show: Reimagined event.

The boutique festival was launched in 2021 as one of the UK's only "socially distanced festivals" due to the covid restrictions of the time.

Due to the positive reaction to the layout, where ticket holders sit in their own "socially distanced squares" they will return for the 2022 event, with table service and private seating.

Every event will include a new seating structure, including 50 VIP Squares with a selected V-VIP front row, premium and standard tickets – offering a range of ticket prices.

Plus new for 2022, a VIP lounge will offer those guests extra luxury.

Rebecca Hartley, founder of Tatton Park Pop Up Festival, says: “Last year was so magical; we created a festival that offered people fun, excitement and the ability to let go and enjoy themselves with friends and family.

"There were so many restrictions in place, but we managed to deliver a safe series of shows that brought happiness back to many! There’s nothing better than dancing and singing in the sunshine to your favourite music.

“This year, we’ve kept all the elements that people told us they loved – our ‘Squares’, table service and gorgeous drinks, like Laurent Perrier champagne.

"But we’ve gone even bigger with amazing gastro food, new ticket pricing and structure, walk-up bars and an enhanced VIP service.

"If you’re already planning your summer fun, we’ll have something that will definitely blow you, your kids and your friends away!”

The Tatton Park Festival will begin on Friday 24 June with the Rocket Man show, and run until Sunday 7 August 2022, with events planned every weekend as well as on Thursday evenings and some days during the school holidays.
