WELCOME TO SPAREPARTS SpareParts is a new transport inspired arts festival taking place in Fleetwood this summer. Developed in conjunction with Fleetwood’s world famous festival of transport (Tram Sunday), the festival is designed to capture the imagination of audiences who attend this already well established event.

Over twenty different artists will be performing in a range of different locations around Fleetwood – check the timetable to make sure you don’t miss out on the free programme of events.
