But the event had a family-friendly feel in order to keep everyone entertained with a BBQ, music, bouncy castles for the kids and a photo booth. T-shirts were also dished out to everyone who took part.
Speaking on behalf of Lancashire Cricket Board Julie Durrant said: “Soft Ball Cricket is a new, fun, fast, social game for all abilities featuring a, you guessed it, soft ball.
“The festival was aimed at encouraging new women into cricket and their friends to come along to have a great first experience of the game.
