Entertainment, prizes and a visit from Blackpool FC’s mascot Bloomfield Bear will help kick off the re-launch of Poulton’s new look Market Hall this weekend.

The Mayor and Mayoress of Wyre, Cllr Russell and Christine Forsyth will officially open the Market Hall as well as some of the new businesses now trading from the busy town centre complex – previously known as the Village Walks.
