The event will take place at Worden Park in Leyland on Sunday 26 May. Nearly 4,000 people went to the event this year.

The festival, in its third year, has recently been nominated in the best small event category at the Lancashire Tourism Awards. 

Councillor Paul Foster, Leader of South Ribble Borough Council said: “Music in the Park is getting bigger and better every year. It’s an incredible event and I’m so pleased we’re able to attract such brilliant performers to South Ribble.

“We expect tickets to sell really quicky, so don’t hesitate to buy and get our great early bird discount.”

Using data from last year’s event it has been revealed that Music in the Park delivers an estimated near £200,000 boost to the local economy.

Councillor Foster continued: “Not only does the event provide a day of entertainment for our ticket holders, but it also provides a great boost to our local area and our businesses. 

“In 2023 many hospitality businesses benefitted from much-increased trade associated with this event and the wider events hosted over that weekend with Music in the Town taking place for the first time on Hough Lane, the day before Music in the Park.”

Tickets for the 2024 event start from £40 and are on sale now at www.musicinthepark.live.
