LANCASTER-BASED Kid Serial is just one of the top acts lined up for a varied and must-but-seen gig in Morecambe.

The four-piece rock band, pictured left, are joining a host of bands from Morecambe and Lancaster including heavy metal specialists Seraphim and dance group Cameron at the Freestage event at the Dome next Friday and Saturday, August 20 and 21.
