STRAwBERRY FiELDS AT MATHEw STREET MUSiC FESTiVAL

To mark the 50th anniversary of the Beatles forming its John, Paul, George and Ringo line-up, we will be delivering a new family friendly element to the festival - Strawberry Fields.

Strawberry Fields is named after the iconic Beatles song, which was written by John Lennon as an affectionate tribute to one of his favourite childhood haunts. Strawberry Field was a Salvation Army Children’s Home and John had fond memories of attending the annual garden parties held there.

SUNDAY 26 & MONDAY 27 AUGUST

Fields

At the Mathew Street Music Festival 2012, Culture Liverpool will evoke the spirit of Strawberry Fields via a traditional garden party, with innovative and interactive flourishes. Aimed at families and young people, it will offer a break from the busy festival and allow families to re-connect and refresh in an alcohol-free chill-out area.
