“The only thing we haven’t been able to ‘tick-off’ yet is the sunshine. Although we’ve ordered a beautiful sunny day, people don’t need to fret if that’s not the case – we have our beer tent in the biggest marquee we could rent anywhere in East Lancashire. The main stage is also all covered. “

Tickets are £2.50 and available from the Commercial, Craven Heifer, Sun Inn and Hare and Hounds as well as Varley’s, Mizpah’s Serenity and Pratt’s. Free entry for children under 16.
