Capital&Centric has revealed the full line-up for its Littlewoods Film & Food Fest – a massive charity event planned for Saturday 15 July.

The festival is set to take place in The Depot, Liverpool Film Office’s sound stages that neighbour the 1930s Littlewoods site.

Billed as the perfect family day out, the one-off fundraiser will feature films, food, music and treats to celebrate the kick off of The Littlewoods Project, which will ultimately bring new studio spaces; workspaces and workshops for the TV and film industry to Liverpool; alongside a screening and performance zone that’s open to the public.

The giant sound stages will be brought to life with two special screenings which will appeal to little ones and grown-ups alike. In the afternoon ‘Matilda the Musical’ will screen at 1pm (Doors 12pm) and later, ‘The Batman’ will screen at 7pm (Doors 6pm).

Visitors can also expect:

• Family-friendly (and vegan) face painting and tattoos from Gigglegobz
• Street food from Oi Dumplings and Mama Sue’s
• Wayne, the School Bus Bar – a yellow school bus from the US, converted into an American diner and bar
• Traditional fairground style games
• Mini golf
• Music from DJs Jimmy the Gent and Tomm Thomas

Tickets are £5 and include free popcorn. All proceeds from ticket sales will go to the Unity Youth and Community Centre based on Dove Street.

John Moffat, joint managing director at Capital&Centric, says: “The Littlewoods Film & Food Fest will be a real celebration of how far the city has come in establishing itself as a British success story when it comes to international film and TV production.

“We’ve brought together two great film screenings, entertainment and some of the best street food vendors, so we hope people head down for a great time with their mates and family and help raise money for a worthy local cause.

“It’s all about giving people a taste of things to come at the Littlewoods Project whilst we work on the detailed plan and gear up for getting going on site later this year.”

Capital&Centric is currently running a month-long consultation on the £70 million repurposing of the whole former Littlewoods site. The consultation is still open and runs until Monday 17 July, with everyone encouraged to head to www.thelittlewoodsproject.com to submit their comments online.
