The Summer Strum is a free ukulele festival, run by volunteers, which utilises the magical powers of this small but mighty instrument to combat loneliness, promote inclusivity & create community wellbeing.
This weekend-long event hosts 3 stages with more than 60 ukulele bands from all over the world.
​
There's also camping, stalls, food, bars, workshops, storytelling, inflatables, a kids craft tent, jam sessions, power-ballad workouts, a big-red-busking-bus and a Summer Strum Parish Sunday Service (praise the uke)!

Nobody leaves this festival without new friends and a grin on their face.
All this for free AND to raise money for our charities
Wirral Mind and Wirral Motor Neurone Disease Association.
