NAUTICAL but nice!

Visitors to Gawthorpe Hall, Padiham, enjoyed a nautical extravaganza with property warden and self-styled pirate Harry Pickles.

The event included a steam ship display by the Ribble Model Boat Society, radio controlled boats in a portable pond, a pirate treasure hunt and a grotto.

Hundreds of visitors to the National Trust property joined in the fun. Money raised will go to the Neptune Coastline Campaign which works to safeguard and protect our coastline.
