We offer a totally professional and complete funeral service and we are at your service in this, your time of need. We believe that a funeral should be as individual as the person who has died.

BLACKROD is to get its own community celebration follow- ing the success of The Festival of Hor- wich in bringing peo- ple together. The Festival of Black- rod is scheduled to take place on Saturday Sep- tember 27 at Blackrod Cricket Club. Organisers say the festival, being held by the town council, will be similar to the annual Horwich event, taking place this year at the RMI cricket ground on Sunday August 25. The programme of events that has been unveiled for Horwich promises to deliver a full day of music, arts, sport, heritage, and family fun – with all Festival success grows Community gathering: Previous Festival of Horwich fun activities and entry free of charge. Organised by Horwich & Blackrod Community Events CIC, the festi- val aims to build on the overwhelming success of Horwich ROX which attracted large crowds of music lovers to the town earlier in the summer. The festival was cre- ated to bring people together to celebrate everything that makes Horwich such a spe- cial place to live, work and visit. It attracts thousands of visitors every year. New features for this year’s festival include an exotic petting zoo, a strongman competition and a Lego building tent. Kathryn Grant, chair of the organising commit- tee, said: “The Festival of Horwich 2025 will be our most ambitious yet – a celebration not just of art, sport, and music, but of the spirit of Hor- wich itself.” The event is made pos- sible thanks to the s sup- port of local businesses, community groups, and volunteers.
