Attractions include a dog show, maypole dancing, folk musicians, arts and crafts stalls and a fortune teller.
Visitors will also be able to see the crowning of the May King and Queen, as well as performances by the Palatine Fiddlers and Hoover brass band. Rossendale and Darwen MP Janet Anderson will open the event. The fair runs from 12pm to 5pm on Monday, May 26.
