CLITHEROE Castle's future development and management is set to be supported by a new friends group.
The Norman castle is currently subject of a Ribble Valley Borough Council Lottery bid, and it is hoped the formation of the friends group will give the project a boost.
The proposed £2 million scheme will see the castle, museum and greenhouse areas refurbished.
Ribble Valley Borough Council leisure and tourism manager Chris Hughes said: "As part of our objective for greater community consultation, we are looking to form a friends group to support the future development and management of Clitheroe Castle.
"Although the group will have no specific powers, we feel advice will be invaluable in managing the future direction of the castle."
Clitheroe Castle was built around 1186 by Robert de Lacy to protect the administrative centre of his estates.
Anyone interested in joining the Friends of Clitheroe Castle is asked to write to Chris Hughes at Ribble Valley Borough Council, Council Offices, Church Walk, Clitheroe, Lancashire, BB7 2RA or e-mail chris.hughes@ribblevalley.gov.uk.
