From 10am-12pm, a Parisian style ‘Café René’ will be based at St James’ Church (weather permitting), offering tea, coffee and a selection of cakes. The café will be supplied with these cakes by Accrington-based training provider and main sponsor North Lancs Training Group (NLTG), with all proceeds going to the church. Actors playing characters from famous British TV sitcom ‘Allo ‘Allo will also be in attendance.

From 12.30pm, the ‘Café René’ Parisian style café will then take centre stage for the eagerly anticipated war re-enactment (weather permitting).
