THIS weekend sees Forest Live return to the beautiful surroundings of Delamere Forest with concerts by Tears For Fears, Paul Weller and Jess Glynne taking place in the Cheshire woodland on the consecutive nights of June 21, 22, 23.

All three nights are now sold out and organisers are urging fans not to turn up without a ticket but if you are lucky enough to have one here's everything you need to know about the events.

Getting there:

Gates open each day at 6pm. If you are driving use the postcode CW8 2HZ and follow the signs.

Delamere train station (Manchester to Chester line) is a 15 minute walk from the concert arena. Please check train details and times on National Rail Enquires.

Parking:

Concert car parking is available from 4pm and is included in the ticket price.

Although ample car parking is available please consider the environment and car share if possible. The main car park is located off the B5152, please use the postcode CW8 2HZ and follow the signs.

If you are planning to arrive earlier in the day, standard admission fees will apply and you will need to park in the Whitefield Car Park and then move your car to the concert parking area after 4pm.

Despite the recent wet weather there are no reported problems at the car park areas.

Travelling by taxi or being dropped off:

If you are arriving by taxi or being dropped off, make sure you have made arrangements for your return journey in advance as there are a limited number of taxi companies operating in rural areas. In addition forest sites do not have public telephones and most sites have poor mobile reception. Arrange to meet your taxi at the designated taxi pick up/drop off point which will be sign posted on site.
