"The guitar show has been extremely popular with several hundred people attending each time its been held.

"It attracts visitors predominantly from all over the North West, North Wales and Cheshire, however there are many people who travel far further to attend."

Admission to the show is £6, which includes entry to a prize draw with the lucky winner receiving a brand new Chord Telecaster style guitar, along with other prizes drawn throughout the day.

There are no pre-sale tickets, payment is cash or card on the day. Under 12s are free, when accompanied by an adult.

There is a large amount of free parking near to the venue. There will be hot food and drinks available at Hulme Hall to purchase on the day.
