Kirkby is set to come to life on 18 July when the town centre will play host to a special world-cup themed celebration thanks to the Kirkby Neighbourhood Board.

The Board - which is overseeing an investment of £19.5 million (as part of the Government's Pride in Place funding) in the town over the next ten years - pledged £60,000 to support town centre events and they are kicking off celebrations in style to coincide with the World Cup Final.

Between 11am and 3pm on the 18 July there will be host of themed attractions and entertainment in the town centre including freestyle footballers, workshops, performances, rodeo football, footpool and much more.

All events are FREE and will appeal to people of all ages - don't miss it!
