The popular free family event, Astley Illuminated, returns next month with magnificent light displays, entertainment and more.
Following the success of last year’s Alien Invasion themed event which saw thousands attend, Astley Hall and Park will come alive with light, music and mystery of the seas with this year’s theme ‘Lost at Sea’, on Friday November 8.
The evening event (5pm-9pm) will feature dazzling light displays, installations, themed interactive performers, live music plus there’ll be delicious food and drink to purchase.
Deputy Leader of Chorley Council, Councillor Peter Wilson said: “We’re looking forward to welcoming visitors to Astley Illuminated which is always a popular event. With new themes for the event being introduced in recent years, it brings something fresh each year for families to enjoy and best of all it’s free entry.”
During the evening, visitors can enter Astley Hall (free of charge) where there'll be themed installations to enjoy, plus the exterior of the hall and grounds will be transformed by light projections. Throughout the event there’ll be craft activities, walkabout performances and live shanty music on the walled garden stage
