Kirkham & Wesham Clubday 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.

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.

A Clubday spokesman said: “This is a special day for everyone and the people of Kirkham turn out in their hundreds to watch this traditional event
