Welcome Weekend itself runs from noon to 5pm on August 19 and 20 with a festival of innovative street theatre. No need to book for this, just come down.

The Piece Hall board say: “It returns this much-loved public space back to the people with an outstanding line-up of creative, spontaneous and downright silly performances.”
