🍕🍦☕ One of the most important questions about any community event is… “Is there food?” 😄

Thankfully, at Marus Bridge Fest, you’re going to be spoiled for choice!

With the weather forecast looking lovely ☀️ and our fantastic field providing plenty of space to roll out a picnic blanket, bring a chair or simply relax on the grass, why not make an afternoon of it?

We’ll be joined by some brilliant food and drink vendors serving up a range of tasty treats throughout the day:

🍰 Rea Creation Cakes
🍹 Lucky Number 13 Bar
🍕 Itsthatpizzagirl - Deebz Street Food
🌭 Event Catering Southport
☕ Northwest Vintage Coffee
🍦 Martin’s Whippy Ice Cream

Whether you’re after coffee and cake, pizza and street food, something sweet, something savoury, or an ice cream to enjoy in the sunshine (because it’s basically the law when the sun appears in the UK 😄), we’ve got you covered!

So come hungry, bring your picnic blanket, find a sunny spot on the field and enjoy a fantastic afternoon with friends, family and the local community.

⏰ Saturday | 12pm–5pm

🎟️✨ RAFFLE REMINDER! ✨🎟️

A little nudge from your friendly FOMBA team… those raffle tickets won’t find their way back to school on their own! 😄

Please remember that all raffle ticket stubs, unsold tickets and any money collected need to be returned by Thursday this week.

Every ticket sold helps support our school and makes events like Marus Bridge Fest possible, so a huge thank you to everyone who’s already returned theirs and to everyone taking part ❤️

If your raffle tickets are currently hiding in a school bag, under a pile of homework, or mysteriously attached to the fridge with a magnet, now’s the perfect time to rescue them! 🕵️‍♀️

Good luck to everyone entering — we have some fantastic prizes up for grabs! 🤞🎉
