Attractions at the fundraiser, held for St Catherine’s Hospice, included a sponsored firewalk challenge, and performances from The Voice stars Hayley and Geno Eccles.

Visitors also enjoyed browsing the stalls, taking part in the tombola and coconut shy, donkey rides, testing their football skills with the Blackburn Rovers Community Team, and watching live dance displays.

Emma Jacovelli, fundraiser at the charity, said: “It was a really fantastic day and we’re delighted with the turnout – it was amazing to see our grounds filled with hundreds of people having fun with all of the different attractions on offer.
