An East Lancashire scouts group will be hosting its annual family fun day at the end of the month.

Oswaldtwistle Mills and St Paul's Scouts group's day of activities, hosted on the mill grounds at Oswatldtwistle Mills shopping village, will be free to enter and is scheduled to take place on Saturday, August 31 from 10am to 4.30pm.

Children will be able to enjoy a variety of activities such as face painting, chainsaw carving, archery, games and a bouncy castle.

There will also be fundraisers on the day, including raffles and a tombola.

Nick Pitman, managing director of Oswaldtwistle Mills, said: "Each year we look forward to the St Paul's Scouts coming in to hold their family fun day.

"We've always got plenty to do in-store, but they really pull all the stops out with their activities for all ages.

"The police cadets, sea cadets and scouts are all on hand to make the day run smoothly, and they deserve lots of credit for their hard work.

"They put lots of effort in and it's all free entry.

"We can't wait to see them, and hope they raise plenty of money in return."

Oswaldtwistle Mills is a retail space with clothing, shoes, and furniture stores, as well as a fresh deli and a garden centre, with a choice of three cafes onsite.

There is also a branch of The Works and a Whittaker's outlet that sells school uniforms.

Michael Shackleton, chair of St Paul's Scouts, said: "Year on year this is a fantastic event for us, and we really thank the team at Oswaldtwistle Mills for all their support."
