THE RISING SUN will be shining with the return of its popular festival event after a covid-enforced break.
Here Comes The Sun is a one-day extravaganza that takes place in the Silver Street venue, featuring a celebration of everything the arts centre holds dear.
There will be live entertainment both inside and outside the buildings, and a celebration of visual arts, and activities for children.
The event helps raise funds to keep the centre going, making it a space for artists, audiences and groups to enjoy.
On the line-up are soul and Motown covers band The Mark II, alt-rock four-piece Elucidate, psychedelic rager Dr Satso, and country, folk, chanson and skiffle group Grae J Wall and Los Chicos Muertos.
Lee Switzerland-Woolf will perform folktronica, and alt-rock will come from Dakorra, a new project from Ocean Ruins singer Kate Herridge.
On the arts side, expect performances from the Dreading Poetry Slam team, comedy from Zap!, and Cameron Chung will present a few of their songs.
Other acts include Phantom Booth, Jen Berkova, and Jamie Larbalestier.
The event takes place on Saturday, August 6. Tickets cost £11 in advance, under 14s can get in free, and the capacity is 150.
