Join 1000 people on June 11 who will be walking up Pendle Hill to see the highest pop concert in the UK.

Burnley band 'Steeros will be starting up the hill early ready for the lunchtime gig, which will raise funds for a new rescue base for Rossendale & Pendle Mountain Rescue Team.

Featuring covers of songs by the Police, Manic Street Preachers, U2 and Oasis, the band will play for about an hour before the rescue team guides everyone safely back down the hill.

Team leader Andy Simpson said: "When we originally had this fundraising idea many people thought we were a bit mad to do it, but it's only a couple of years since some of our team members escorted a band up Kilimanjaro in Africa for the highest pop concert in the world.

"Hopefully, lugging all this gear up Pendle Hill will be much easier by comparison."

The organisers want people to enter into the spirit of Pendle and come dressed as witches and there's a prize for the best costume on the day and a free commemorative T shirt for everyone.

Rossendale & Pendle Mountain Rescue Team help people 24 hours a day anywhere from the wilds of the East Pennine moors to the paths and tracks of our country parks, from Bacup to Bury, Rishton to Rochdale, Clitheroe to Colne.

The team has outgrown their base in Haslingden and now need to raise over £500,000 for a new one to enable them to continue their lifesaving work. All proceeds from the event will go to the base appeal.
