Garden sheds will be featured in an upcoming arts festival in Liverpool.

The festival, held once every two years, is this year on the theme of being emotionally touched, as well as being entitled 'Touched', which signifies how the various works displayed have touched the lives of residents, according to the Liverpool Echo.

A main attraction will be an area that is set to be converted into a garden.

Lewis Biggs, the festival's artistic director, said: "A large area is being made into a garden, with Astroturf, and pillars turned into trees, and garden sheds scattered around. It's a really imaginative."

Running for ten weeks, the festival is expected to draw an international audience.

Earlier this month, the town of Bridgeport saw playhouses become a big attraction after they were converted into miniature versions of buildings from story books, such as Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
