HISTORIC Gawthorpe Hall in Padiham celebrated the 400th anniversary of the laying of its foundation stone with a grand party.
On Saturday a celebration supper was organised by the Pendle Forest Association of the National Trust in the Great Barn
And yesterday the hall hosted a massive party with family activities including circus workshops and a chance to build a timber framed house as well as a mobile farm, hedgehog rescue and willow weaving.
The old coach house and stable block hosted a craft fair with a range of crafts from sweets to pottery displays.
Folk music rang out in the afternoon and evening from artistes including Strawhead, Mooncoyne, Pauline Cato and Risky Business.
The hall, set in seven acres of grounds, took just five years to build.
