A reality TV regular has been revealed as the headliner of Nottinghamshire's new free family festival.
Familiar prime time face Jake Quickenden - a one time X Factor hopeful, I'm a Celebrity contestant and Dancing on Ice winner - will top the bill at Retford's first Party In The Square.
Taking place on Bank Holiday Sunday (August 25) the event, organised by North Notts BID, will also feature tribute bands such as Mercury and The Little Mix Show as well as local musicians on the line-up.
Sally Gillborn, chief executive of North Notts BID, says: “We’re really looking forward to bringing in the crowds and celebrating the great town of Retford.
"There’s such a range of acts that the event has something for all ages and every taste; it’s a great opportunity for local businesses to shout about what the area is all about.”
Alongside the music and entertainment, visitors will have the chance to enjoy an open-air bar as well as food from local caterers and producers.
Sally adds: “With bars and catering stalls on the square itself and all the local pubs and cafes open in the surrounding areas, this promises to be a great showcase for Retford.”
Party In The Square, Retford Market Square, 2pm to 7.30pm, Sunday, August 25.
