“We were delighted that over 3,500 families and teams took part in the last Escapade event and we got lots of requests to do it again.

“Blackburn BID events like this trail not only offer a free, fun activity for families and visitors to enjoy, they bring additional footfall into the town centre to support our brilliant businesses.  

“We look forward to welcoming people from across the region to Blackburn town centre to take part in The Easter Escapade trail. Good luck!”

Leaflets will be available from the Ask Me Point at The Mall Blackburn from Thursday 28 March.
