Dozens of attractions included a hot air balloon, fairground rides, treasure trails, food and craft stalls.

Dionne Swift, Director and Founder of the Social Enterprise said “We wanted to celebrate 10 years of being here together at the Campus and we couldn’t think of a better way to do this than with our children, families, staff and local community.

"This is the biggest event that we have ever run and it was amazing to see everyone having such an amazing time together. The event was themed around families and we wanted to build on the already strong community engagement links we have with our community.

"We would like to thank all the businesses and organisations that supported and attended the event and in particular Burnley Tool Hire, UCLAN and KQF for their kind donations."
