A NEW lifestyle festival is being lined up in Barrowford to add to Pendle’s packed programme for summer events.

And promoters of the latest spectacular, scheduled to take place in Bullholme Park on Saturday, July 4, are eager to sign up extra helping hands.

Food stalls, a men’s creche and children’s area have already been lined up by organisers, with more attractions to be added in the coming weeks.

The event is being backed by local solicitors Farnworth Rose and other firms in the Pendle and Burnley areas are being encouraged to take part.

Partner Richard Farnworth said: “Everyone at the firm is delighted to be a part of the festival. It promises to be a fantastic occasion and is a great opportunity to showcase the great work of businesses throughout the local area.”

Leading food producers are being enlisted, with East Lancashire able to offer everything from farm fare to haute cuisine and it is hoped the inaugural event will attract visitors from across the red and white rose counties.

A festival spokesman added: “Businesses can still sponsor Barrowford Lifestyle Festival, and committee members want food producers to get in touch.

“Organisers hope the festival will attract visitors across Lancashire and beyond. All money raised will be injected back into village projects.”

This year is already promising to be a bumper year with Pendle sharing duties with Ribble Valley as the host of one of the legs of the Tour of Britain in September. See more at http://www.barrowfordfestival.co.uk
