Police patrols attended and it became clear that an illegal music event was being held in a field close to Factory Lane and the Old Tram Road.

Police asked the organisers to turn down the music however the individuals failed to comply.

A spokesperson for Lancashire Police said: “The organisers were repeatedly asked to turn the music down but sadly these requests were ignored.
