Everyone is invited to join in the fun at an annual celebration of Bare village in Morecambe.

Barefest will take place in and around Princes Crescent and Bare Lane this Saturday (June 14).

Beyond Radio will be there providing music and announcements on a carnival day celebrating Bare village.

A parade through the streets will begin at 12.30pm, followed by the inauguration of the Lord Mayor of Bare and a presentation of a Local Hero award.

Chris Mount, village butcher, has been Lord Mayor of Bare for the past two years.

Mr Mount was re-elected as Lord Mayor for the coming year but will be unable to take part in the ceremony on Saturday due to injury. His deputy, Councillor Martin Bottoms, will take his place.

"I am happy to fulfil the duties on behalf of Chris for as long as is needed until he feels well enough to return," said Councillor Bottoms.

Entertainment will come from the Mizzen Crew sea shanty singers, the Happy Feet dancers, St Mary's school choir, Baybeat street band, magician Steve Piers, Salsa XS and street entertainer Adrian Catch - as well as lots of stalls.

Beyond Radio will be there too providing music and announcements, with a special appearance by Beyond Bear.
