A BURNLEY nightclub manager has offered the town’s businesses free party space in a bid to ease the burden of the credit crunch.

Chris Cunliffe, the new General Manager at Lava Ignite, has opened the doors of the 2,500 capacity venue to Burnley firms.

He said: “With Christmas coming I thought I'd try to brighten up local businesses who've had it rough this year with free Christmas parties for them and their friends and families.

“This isn't a con and there are no catches.”
