To keep visitors warm Cafe Ambio served hot food and drinks. Hot chocolate and mulled wine was on offer for those getting into the festive spirit and a brass band played Christmas carols near a Christmas Tree in the Walled Garden.

Many who went along to the theatrical event organised by Chorley Council thanked the authority on Facebook for such a stunning evening.

Karen Brown said: “What a great night! The hall looked lovely and the entertainment was fantastic!

“Thank you Chorley Council for providing this for free, although had I spotted a donation box, we would have happily contributed.”
