A warning has been issued ahead of Reminisce festival this weekend.
The annual 90s dance festival takes place on Sherdley Park in St Helens and is estimated to bring around 20,000 people into the area this year. Police have urged festival-goers to enjoy themselves "safely" following last year's issues.
Revellers who hoped to party at Reminisce 2021 described their trip as a "nightmare", claiming they were met with huge queues and unsafe conditions. Dozens of disappointed ticket holders contacted the ECHO last year to raise concerns, while the event's Facebook page was flooded with criticism.
