TOWN centre bosses in Accrington are hoping to attract visitors from all over the North with the launch of a new town guide.
The leaflet features a town centre map highlighting places of interest, including the Victorian market hall, the town hall, cinema and the Arndale Centre. It also gives information on shopping, entertainment, events and leisure activities in the town.
Some 155,000 copies will be distributed to tourist information centres within an hour-and-a-half's drive of the town. They will be sent out in the months before Christmas to attract festive shoppers.
Hyndburn Council leader Peter Britcliffe said: "We are delighted to launch this guide which highlights all the opportunities for shopping in Accrington town centre.
"And we hope people will grab their copy as they come into town for their Christmas shopping."
