Liverpool Food, Drink & Lifestyle Spring Festival, which is now celebrating its third year, is set to return to the city this weekend.

The event, which takes place in Sefton Park on April 15 and 16, is set to offer everything from food, drink and entertainment to crafts and quirky pieces for the home and garden. The aim of the festival is to showcase the region’s most diverse independent lifestyle producers.
