The popular free event, held on April 11, featured a wide range of attractions including artisan market stalls, children’s rides, food and drink stands and live performances throughout the day.
One of the highlights was the charity dog show, which saw owners and their four-legged friends take part in a variety of light-hearted categories while raising funds for Homeless Hounds.
Organised with support from Kirkham Town Council, the festival once again proved a hit with residents and visitors, offering something for all ages in the heart of the town.
The event was organised by Bespoke Events North West.
