Simon Rimmer, star of Sunday brunch returns to Stanley park in 2015 as our headline chef. Simon will be appearing on Saturday on our main stage and as always he will play to packed audiences. It is fitting that the Merseysider appears in the shadows of his beloved Anfield. He is a staunch red supporter as anyone who watches his Sunday Channel 4 programme will know. His banter with Tim Lovejoy, who supports Chelsea, has been raging for years.

Simon is one of the UK’s finest chef, entertainers and his Liverpool pub/restaurant, The Elephant, in Woolton has been a huge success since opening just over a year ago with people recognising and appreciating his unique blend of local produce with creative tastes and flavours, providing a new twist on amny much loved classics.

He not only cooks on the stage he puts on a great show, like no other and if you haven’t seen him live then you are in for a real treat. Book your tickets  for the festival now and save 20%.
