A festival which "showcases rich Indian heritage" is to be held under Blackpool Tower.

Blackpool’s Indian Cultural Festival will be held on 7 July.

Dance, yoga and henna sessions will take place at the free event, which is being supported by Blackpool Council.

About 1,000 people attended the first event last year, Gopi Krishna from Fylde Coast Hindu Society said.

“Its main focus is showcasing rich Indian heritage to people of Blackpool and beyond,” he added.

Organisers said the event would be "bigger and better" when it returned this summer.
