IMAGINATE is a one-day festival of art, music, workshops and exhibitions taking place at Birkenhead’s Future Yard on Sunday, September 25 from 2pm until 10pm.

Wirral songsmith Bill Ryder-Jones will be joined by Beija Flo, Silent K and Dancing to Architecture following an afternoon packed with exhibitions, creative activities and film screenings.

All proceeds from the event will go towards raising funds to help secure the future of Ron’s Place - home of the late Birkenhead artist Ron Gittins - using it as a place to support and inspire creativity for all.

A spokesperson for Imaginate said: “The aim is to make Ron’s Place a community resource to inspire wonder and unlock creativity and wellbeing in the local community.

“The late Ron Gittins used his resourcefulness and imagination to create a fantasy world in his home - these qualities are the inspiration for IMAGINATE.”

From 2pm, children can get their hands dirty with workshops from The Bluecoat Gallery’s Blue Room team who are offering the chance to experiment with collage. Or attendees can create their own aquatic beasts in the Underwater Creature Creation Station and learn how to give plastic rubbish a new lease of life with Neston High School Maker Space. Birkenhead’s Convenience Gallery will also be on site with their Working-Class Histories of Birkenhead project.

The Future Yard garden will host the Tardis-like venue that is The Caravan Gallery exhibiting photographs of Britain, with photographer Casey Orr encouraging people to show off their street style in a funky pop-up portrait studio.

To coincide with their exhibition at the Williamson Art Gallery, the afternoon programme includes Patric Rogers and Angelo Madonna‘s film ‘A Transfigured Movement in Time’ and filmmaker Martin Wallace will present footage shot inside Ron’s Place along with extracts from his Channel 4 documentary series ‘Journeys into the Outside with Jarvis Cocker’.

The festival runs from 2 to 10pm.
