A high tech bandstand is set to be opened on the Strawberry Field.
The grounds, which were once a Salvation Army children's home, were visited regularly by a young John Lennon, who would later pen the track Strawberry Fields Forever. Now a new era of musicians will be urged to take to the stage at the bandstand, with money raised going to charity.
The Salvation Army owns and operates Strawberry Field, and every ticket sale or donation made at the attraction helps support "Steps at Strawberry Field", a series of programmes which provide employability skills training and valuable work placements across the Liverpool City Region for adults with learning difficulties and other barriers to employment.
