Also taking place the same weekend is Marsh Mill’s birthday bash. Marsh Mill is a beautifully restored Grade II* listed tower mill set in the attractive surroundings of Marsh Mill Village and shopping centre in Thornton.

Take the opportunity to see the sails turn. Regular tours of the mill with take place during the weekend, with the last tour starting at 2.15pm both days.

We’ve recently launched an augmented reality app for people to experience Cleveley’s seafront in an entirely new way. Download the free app (available on Apple App Store and Google Play), take the kids to Cleveleys promenade and experience an immersive digital story that brings the pieces of artwork on the beach and promenade to life. 

There's lots of other events happening during half term. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to find out more.
