Sunday will also feature family activities from 2pm including crazy golf and a bouncy castle.

An array of Lancashire’s finest real ales will be on tap at the festival while ciders and continental lagers will also be served.

Organised by Gregson Lane Community Centre and led by a team of volunteers, the event aims to raise funds for a new space as well as to pay for the upkeep and maintenance of the surrounding grounds. The playing fields are used by various local cricket and football teams. Entry to the festival is £5 per day or £12 for a weekend ticket. Children under 3 years are free. Food and refreshments will be available throughout.
