After the successful re-introduction of this event last year there was popular demand to hold the event again.

Starting and ending back at Bryn St Peter's CE Primary School on Downall Green Road, the event brings together many local schools, nurseries , churches and community groups for a walk around the area with banners and bands.

The route will be Downall Green Road, Soughers Lane, Chimes Road, Dryden Avenue, Soughers Lane, Wigan Road, Bryn Green Lane, Roman Rise, Hilldale, Roman Rise, Bryn Green Lane, Wigan Road, Bryn Cross and Downall Green Road back to the school.

The walk starts at 2pm and afterwards there will be fun on the school field with Silcock's fair, face-painting, a sweet stall, ice cream, burger van, doighnuts and raffles.

Visitors can bring a picnic if they wish.

A spokesperson for the walk said: “Everyone is welcome and we look forward to making it as enjoyable and successful as possible once again.

“We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the temporary road closures but these are rolling closures and will only be in effect whilst the procession walks on a particular section of the route.

“Come along and walk with us or watch and then enjoy the activities on the field afterwards!”

“Looking forward to a great community day.”
