YOUNG farmers are puckering up for a record breaking attempt...at the world's biggest snog!

Farmers from across East Lancashire will be performing some mouth-to-mouth at their annual convention, and 2,000 pairs of lips are already limbering up for the gobsmacking event.

The Snog-athon will be staged in Blackpool's Winter Gardens during the Young Farmers' Club annual convention.

The world record stands at 1,600 people kissing at the same time but organisers are hoping 2,000 will join in the 20-second snog.

Liz Smith, of Turton Young Farmers, said: "I'm looking forward to it.

"The idea is for us all to pay money to take part and that will go to charity."
