Families are expected to flock to Darwen this Saturday and enjoy a free, fun packed day on Darwen Market Square.
Darwen Town Council, Crafty Vintage and Let’s Make have collaborated together and pulled out all stops to provide a fantastic line up of culture, creativity, crafts and theatre for Darwen Festival of Fun.
Professor Pumpernickel’s science show is sure to delight the crowds along with a circus school, magic shows and crafts from Magical Story Jars.
Birds of Paradise stilt walkers, giant bubbles and a large helter skelter will bring a festival element to the day.
An Artisan Market filled with fresh produce, handmade crafts and art will ensure that there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Whilst in town take some time to visit the historic Darwen Market Hall, where you can do your weekly shopping all under one roof.
Laura E Johnson, director of Crafty Vintage and Let’s Make said “Darwen Town Council wanted a day that is free and full of fun for the local community and beyond to enjoy. With such a varied line up, plus an Artisan Market and street food, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
At 3pm a grand finale dance showcase from local youngsters of Lancashire Dance Academy of Lower Darwen will bring the event to a close at 4pm.
Opens at 10am and closes at 4pm.
