A COMMUNITY radio station is holding its own music festival later this year.

Westhoughton-based Howfen Radio will present the Howfenbury 2017 Festival of Music at the car park of the White Lion Hotel, in Market Street.

It takes place on Saturday September 16 between noon and 10pm.

Organisers promise there will be a ‘wide variety’ of performances for music-loversto enjoy.

And there will also be a host of attractions for fun-seekers of all ages, including a bouncy castle, stall, a food wagon and face painting.

There will also be a bar available.

Entry is free.
