FUNSEEKERS are flocking to Blackburn Witton Country Park as the Easter funfair gets into full swing.

The popular annual visitor will be at the Preston Old Road park all week.

And despite a weather forecast of showers over the Bank Holiday weekend, thousands of fun-seekers are still expected to turn up for the thrills and spills.

Attractions for all ages range from side shows, stalls and games, white knuckle rides, mini rides for kiddies, candy floss and waltzers. It will stay in town until next Saturday night.

Blackburn with Darwen Mayor Salas Kiani was one of the first to try out the rides and was welcomed by Lawrence Hill from the Showmen's Guild.
