PERFORMERS are already rehearsing for Blackburn with Darwen's Arts In The Park three-day show.

The music and arts festival, billed as an "extravaganza" by the borough council sponsors, runs from July 28 to 30 in Corporation Park, Blackburn.

Guitarist Ian Hodgson (pictured) will be playing along with many other musicians and performers at the free event, which is the highlight of the council's Millennium festival.
