A PARK will become a party scene later this year as a popular festival returns to a town.

Blackburn’s Witton Park will host the Restricted Forest festival, which will be the third year of the dance, house and old skool festival.

Organisers have now announced the line-up for this year’s event and it is set to feature circus acts, illusions and 'spectacular jaw-dropping shows'.

Acts are set to include DJ Charlie Sloth, Judge Jules and Max Chapman.

Organisers said on Facebook: “After two hugely successful Restricted Forest Festivals, we will be returning bigger, longer and harder back at Witton on Saturday, September 8, 2018.

“There will be a bigger line-up, bigger brands and a bigger set-up.”

Last year’s event saw fundraiser Caitlin Jones join with the organisers who agreed to donate £1 from every ticket purchased to support the East Lancashire Hospice.

This year’s event is set to take place on Saturday, September 8 between 1pm and 11pm.

Tickets are still available, with phase one tickets priced at £15 and phase two tickets set to be on sale soon.

Early birds tickets priced at £10 have sold out.
