A popular village pub is throwing its own festival with live music, beer and food trucks.

A 350-year-old pub in Kirkby-in-Furness is getting ready to host its second annual music event.

The Ship Inn 1691 is run by landlady Lisa Storey and her partner Mark Holt, who took over the pub in August 2021.

Ship Fest 2024 will take place on Saturday September 7 with five sets from local musicians and artists, plus a performance from a comedic poet.

The event will feature live music from Jon Byrne and his band, as well as Dr. & the sick notes and bring it on down, an Oasis and Liam Gallagher tribute band.

The doors will open at noon,

Refreshments will be provided by McMunchies food truck who will be joined by Vintage Box Bar, who offer cocktails.

Lisa said they would open both the inside and outside bar so people can sit outside if the weather is nice.

This is the second year the pub has held a festival.

Lisa said: “We held Ship Fest last year and it went really well so we thought we’d have another one."
