31 fantastic pictures from Burnley's second-ever Bubbles in the Park

Families from all backgrounds came together to pack out Thompson Park and celebrate the town’s diversity.

The fun-filled event, including food, live music, henna art, dholl drumming, and a whole load of bubbles, was organised by Burnley Council Rangers and local residents.

Coun. Afrasiab Anwar, Leader of Burnley Council, said: "It was absolutely fantastic to be at Thompson Park on Bank Holiday Monday for Bubbles in the Park. Lead by residents, by our community volunteers and park rangers, who said we want to send out a message that Burnley is this wonderful place where we are diverse, where we celebrate our differences and our cultures. The park was alive with bubbles, as people of all ages chased them, popped them, and laughed as they landed unexpectedly, because, really, who doesn’t love bubbles?

“Thank you to everyone who organised, delivered, and attended; this is what Burnley is, inclusive, proud and full of community spirit".
