Friends of Rhyddings Park is organising a big music event in the park on Sunday, June 15th between 3pm and 7pm.

There will be classical, jazz and brass bands playing, in other words, a really traditional park concert.

It's free to attend.

We have a full music programme including Darwen Brass Band and East Lancashire Concert Band, plus circus acts on the field.

You're invited to come along and bring a picnic (hopefully we'll get good weather) and enjoy the afternoon - it's Father's Day as well, so we're hoping lots of families will come.

There's just one thing I need to find now and that's a good Compere! If anyone knows of anybody who is capable of introducing the acts, chatting to the crowd and keeping the event moving could you please let me know. I'd love to hire a local person to do it.
