Traditionally the market has been a way for village organisations to boost their funds. In recent years numerous other businesses have set up stall too.

Andrew said attractions would include a plant stall, a fruit and veg stall and children's rides in addition to other stalls.

The event used to be held on the Ribble Valley village's main street, but is now located in the grounds of Bee Mill off Preston Road.

Proceeds from a collection on the day will go to the Preston based Rosemere Cancer Foundation charity.

Andrew said: "We'll be taking donations on the door. Rosemere is going to have a stall as well.".
