I've been to the Southport airshow today and it was excellent - easily 15,000 people there but really well organised.

Kids loved it, apart from the noise made by the harrier jump jets, and Chris was like a kid in a sweetshop looking at all the planes.

It was a really good event for the town and no doubt attracts a lot of positive promotion for the area. I got to thinking, what could Hyndburn do that hadn't already been done that could be as big as that? Not that I'm offering to organise anything you understand, this is a hypothetical question?

Southport has an airshow and flowershow, even Burnley has the Blues festival and a balloon festival, etc.

I know we have a few events but what would be really, really different, that would attract the crowds?
