What’s On in Blackburn: Monday 20 October – Sunday 26 October
From spooky markets to West End-worthy musicals, this week Blackburn & Darwen brings you an incredible mix of live music, comedy, crafts, exhibitions and family-friendly fun.

Live music fans will love The Jerseys, Club 80s, Interstellar with Roger Sayer at the Cathedral and more.
Need a laugh? Alfie Moore headlines Darwen with his latest hit show, and Emmanuel Sonubi</strong brings the comedy to town earlier in the week.
