Leaders will include Gary Howard of the Flying Pickets, Jeff Borradaile, musical director of the Blackburn People's Choir, and Kate Howard, a performer and teacher who has toured with Vermont-based Northern Harmony.

A ticket for both days, which run from 10am to 4.30pm, costs £50 and £20 for concessions. Lunches and entry to the Saturday evening concert at the theatre are included.
