24 August - 26 August 2018
Hundreds of blues musicians will be performing across the four-day event of The Great British R&B Festival.
The festival has grown massively in recent years, both in popularity and size with people travelling from across the UK, Europe and even the USA to listen to blues music in Lancashire.
In both 2013 and 2014, the festival was declared the Best Blues Festival in the European Blues Awards and the festival is a firm favourite with all fans.
