FAMILY fun is on offer at a popular park this weekend.

The special family extravaganza will be held in the beautiful surroundings of Thompson Park, Burnley.

The programme of activities will have something for everyone including archery, small fairground rides, music, food stalls, face painting and craft activities.

The park’s miniature railway service will be offering leisurely rides around the park and the boats and kayaks will be available for hire on the boating lake.

While the park’s paddling pool will be open to younger visitors.

A display of park restoration of the park will be up at the pavilion giving residents an opportunity to view how the park will be transformed using £861,000 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

These include designs for the restoration of the pavilion, the boathouse, the Italian garden and kids’ play area together with the paddling pool.

Residents and visitors are invited to join in an action-packed afternoon on Sunday, August 20 between noon and 4pm.
