Lancaster Bomber flypast and plenty of festival fun in Brinklow this Bank Holiday weekend

There’s lots to crow about in Brinklow when the annual scarecrow trail and festival takes place.

Scary looking characters will descend on the village from August 24-30.

The family festival takes place on August 24 and 25 with a packed programme of family fun.

One of the festival organisers said: “We are delighted to confirm the return of the RAF Lancaster for a Brinklow Festival 2024 fly past on the Sunday afternoon."

The festival hosts live bands, food and drink, stalls, games, dog show, classic cars and motorbikes, raffle and activities for all ages. Star Wars fans are in for a treat as Stormtroopers will be on hand for a selfie.

Since its beginning in 2015, the festival has raised more many thousands of pounds for community projects.

All monies raised go to local groups and charities connected with the village and for much needed maintenance of historic buildings and churches.

The trail stretches across the village and has consistently included scores of displays.
