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.
