Jay Johal, who owns the arena, believes the festival will bring some much needed fun.
“It’s been a very hard year for everyone and lots of people have been disappointed because their favourite events and even their holidays have been cancelled,” he said.
“We thought it would be great to put on an event which can take place in safe and friendly environment which really will have something for everyone to enjoy.
