Community festival Franki Fest is coming to Royton Park

Date published: 05 June 2025


On Saturday, August 2, Royton Park will come alive with music, rides, and powerful remembrance as the local community gathers for Franki Fest.

Franki Fest will be a festival in memory of Oldham mum Frankie Jules-Hough and her unborn daughter Neeve, who were tragically killed in a road accident that also left two young boys in comas.

Marking what would have been Frankie’s birthday, the event is not only a celebration of her life, but a call to action.

Proceeds will support Frankie and Neeve’s Road Safety Academy, a charity dedicated to saving lives through education, school outreach, and youth engagement.

Franki Fest highlights will include:

Live bands and tribute acts
Inflatables and fairground rides
Police and ambulance service engagement
Food trucks and bar area
Road safety awareness activities
Also a special surprise celebrity appearance

The festival aims to turn pain into purpose, helping ensure no other family suffers such a loss.

The event will take place at Royton Park on Saturday, August 2, starting at 12 noon.
