Organisers of a Muslim festival in Preston are hailing it as Lancashire's 'biggest ever'.

More than 1,200 people from across the county turned out at the JA Family Festival.

The charity event held in Bhailok Square in Fulwood was made possible thanks to 17 sponsors and 100 volunteers, organisers said.

The festival offered visitors 15 food vendors made up of Indian cuisines, barbeques, bubble tea and chai.

"We hope to continue and build a legacy raising money for charity with young people delivering the events. It’s wonderful to see the next generation step up and lead.

"For many, it was more than just a day of service. It was a valuable learning experience, teaching them event management, teamwork, and leadership skills.

"Several of the volunteers are already eager to be involved in the next event."
