A PARK played host to a weekend of music, craft and creativity.

Hundreds of people turned out for the Rawtenstall Annual Fair, which was held in Whitaker Park, Rawtenstall, and organised by the Rossendale Museum and Art Gallery.

The free two-day event featured clog dancing workshops, garden games, a Punch and Judy performance, stalls and traditional song, dialect and dance with members of the Lancashire Society.

There was also poetry, stories and song from Sid Calderbank, Richard Moss, Joy Hunter and Julie Proctor, and musical performances from The Larks of Dean Quire and Haslingden and Helmshore Band.

An event spokesman said the festival was a success.
