DARWEN experienced some red-carpet glamour at the premiere of British comedy, "Grow Your Own" at the Library Theatre.

The star of the film, Darwen girl Sophie Lee, said she was thrilled at the postive reception the film received.

Along with the showing of the film, there were many activities at the event such as a raffle, kung fu and a traditional Chinese dragon dance.

The event also raised money for Derian House Children's Hospice.

The event raised more than £400 and Sophie Lee's mother, Angie, said she would like to thank everyone who donated.

The film "Grow Your Own" is out now on DVD.
