Live At Arley Welcomes ‘Discover Knutsford’ As Official Town Partner

Live at Arley returns to the grounds of Arley Hall this May – and today organisers can reveal Discover Knutsford as Official Town Partner.

This year’s spectacular music event takes place over three unmissable nights in the stunning surroundings of the Cheshire countryside.

Tickets for concerts on the evenings of 15, 16, and 17 May are on sale now.

It is the second year Live at Arley has welcomed Discover Knutsford as an official partner of the fantastic weekend of live music which in 2026 features superstars and top chart hits from the 70s, 80s, and Noughties.

Discover Knutsford promotes the picturesque Cheshire market town which is steeped in history and is home to a lively independent shopping scene and a thriving range of top restaurants, cafés, bars, entertainment venues, including the acclaimed Knutsford Little Theatre, and other businesses.

Ticketholders will be able to enjoy exclusive offers in the town, while selected Knutsford businesses will also be on-site at Live at Arley across the May weekend.

Live at Arley opens on the evening of Friday, 15 May when music fans are invited to return to the early ‘noughties,’ with Gareth Gates and Adam Rickitt headlining the fantastic Mega Y2K concert.

They will be supported on the night of millennium magic by a brilliant collection of top tribute artists including January Butler, the world’s number one tribute to Canadian singing star Celine Dion, and Boyz Beyond who celebrate and recreate the chart-topping music of some of the world’s best boy bands including Backstreet Boys, Blue, and Five.

Saturday, 16 May sees the return of the hugely popular Back to Boogie, a glittering celebration of disco, funk, and soul.

The line-up of iconic 70s and 80s superstars includes Imagination featuring Leee John, 5 Star, The Real Thing, Jacki Graham, Italian dance-house group Livin’ Joy, and Romina Johnson.

Then on Sunday, 17 May there is the chance to dig out those flares and platform boots for a day of stomping 70s anthems in a Glam Rock Revival headed by the Bay City Rollers. The line-up also stars Mud ft Ray Stiles and Rob Davies, and sensational Marc Bolan tribute Total Rex.

Live at Arley will also feature a food and drink square featuring amazing local outlets serving everything from wood-fired pizza to gourmet burgers and authentic Jamaican cuisine, and a Shopping Village with pop-ups from local makers, bespoke gifts, and treats for all the family to buy.

Meanwhile, this year the VIP area will include access to a Golden Circle offering space close to the stage, as well as access to the VIP marquee with premium seating, premium offerings, and posh loos!

Live at Arley event organiser Max Eden, of Cheshire Concerts, says: “I’m absolutely delighted to announce we are partnering with Discover Knutsford for a second year. Knutsford is a historic gem in the heart of Cheshire and a brilliant example of a thriving community and community spirit.

“This partnership will see ticketholders able to access a range of exclusive offers at venues in the town over the weekend while some key Knutsford businesses will also be on the ground at Live at Arley itself.

“With three nights of fantastic music planned, Live at Arley 2026 is shaping up to be the biggest and best music event around this spring.”

Sandra Curties, Town Centre Manager for Knutsford Town Council, which manages the Discover Knutsford place brand, said: “We are looking forward to working with Cheshire Concerts and hope visitors enjoy both the concerts and the delights of our wonderful market town.”
