FREE tickets to local tourist spots are being given away at a Spring Attractions Fair at Towneley Hall, Burnley on Saturday March 23.

The event aims to claw back some of the business lost last year in and around Burnley through the foot and mouth crisis.

Attractions including Barden Hall, Rourkes Forge and the Marton Emperor will give away free tickets and vouchers and the first to arrive will receive Towneley Hall goody bags.

There will also be a chance to see new building work being carried out at the hall.

A grant from the Lancashire Tourism Partnership means admission to the event running between 12 and 4pm is free.
