Have you saved the date to go to the Blackbirn Diocese Big Day Out? Please add your names to the form at the back of church, so we can work out minibus or car travel arrangements 😀 Blackburn Diocese is marking 100 years with a Big Day Out in Blackpool — a full, joy filled celebration for every age. With dedicated zones for families and young people, plus live music, comedy, a free hog roast lunch and a huge open‑air worship gathering in St John’s Square, it’s set to be a fantastic day for our whole Diocese. Everyone is welcome, and pre registration helps us plan food and spaces. Join us on Saturday 16 May 2026 for a big party in Blackpool to celebrate 100 years of Blackburn Diocese! https://www.blackburn.anglican.org/events/1219/the-big-day-out-in-blackpool
