A SPECIAL celebration is being organised for people who have married in a Darwen church.

And now the people behind the event are urging happy couples to get in contact ahead of the bash next April.

Darwen's Central United Reformed Church will be the venue for the weekend-long event, which will include a display of wedding dresses and a concert celebrating marriage.

But the highlight of the weekend will be a service on the Sunday celebrating marriage.

Margaret East, church secretary, said: "We want people who have married here to come and join us for the event.

"We think it will be very special."

The church has also been known as Duckworth Street United Reformed Church and Duckworth Street Congregational Church.
