Serious Nonsense Festival

Shakespeare North Playhouse and Prescot Town Centre will be packed with nonsense for this massive three-day adventure celebrating Edward Lear’s connection to Knowsley. 

Lear lived at Knowsley Hall and wrote his world-famous poem The Owl and the Pussycat there. To celebrate his love of all things nonsense and the fact that Knowsley is the Liverpool City Region Borough of Culture in 2022, the Serious Nonsense festival is coming to Prescot in August.

There will be plenty of quirky and fun family attractions to enjoy alongside a special programme of readings, performances and talks for all ages.

Full line up and ticket information coming soon.
