“We think Burnley is fantastic places to live.
“At Calico, we’re really delighted with the effort and dedication our residents have put in to make their communities places they are proud to live, and that’s why we’ve organised Brilliant Burnley’s Fantastical Festival – to give something back to residents for all their hard work, and to show the best that Lancashire has to offer.
“We’re really looking forward to the Festival, and we hope as many people from across the town will attend and take part in some of the exciting competitions.”
