THE Stawley Festival, which is set to return on Sunday, July 6, has included several local artists in its lineup.

Acoustic singer-songwriter Karl Ficarotta, who has a son in the local nursery, will be performing, as well as the west country rock band Radio Sunset.

The line-up also includes performer Lizzie Merrick, as well as an open mic opportunity for festival-goers.

The afternoon of music, food, shopping, and activities will take place form 2pm until 5pm, at the Appley Pavilion.

Proceeds from Stawley Festival will be split between FOSS (Friends of St Stephen’s) and Stawley Preschool.

Karl said: “It's really cool to be able to give back. I'm excited to play!”
