The annual Kirkham and Wesham Club Day took place over the weekend – with hundreds of people in attendance.
The event is a traditional family day with a long history of bringing together the Churches in the town with a procession which begins in Wesham and takes in all the main streets.A spokesman for the organisers said: “On this special day each year all the Churches process through Kirkham with their banners, brass bands and their chosen Rose Queen together with her attendants.“This is a special day for everyone and the people of Kirkham turn out in their hundreds to watch this traditional event. Following the morning procession some of the churches hold garden fetes/flower festivals in the afternoon.”Kirkham & Wesham Clubday dates back over 150 years.
