A FESTIVAL celebrating the coming of Spring will be held in a town centre today.

Hundreds of people are expected to attend The Snow Moon Festival, a day filled with free fun activities celebrating light and the end of winter.

Clitheroe will host a lantern parade, led by a giant hen harrier with a three-metre wing-span, which will take place in the town from 4.45pm.

A free concert will also be staged by Lancashire folksters Drop the Floor at the Grand Theatre.

The festival will begin at 11am with storytelling for children at Clitheroe Library.
