The North-West based contractors, developers and investors have been financial supporters of the festival for several years, and were sponsors of the 2023 event, which saw more 25,000 people visit Colne over the August Bank Holiday weekend.

Returning this year from August 23 – 25, Colne Town Council in association with the Colne Blues Society are finalising plans for the 2024 festival, with the very best blues artists in the UK right now, as well as some exceptionally talented local musicians performing across three days at the Pendle Hippodrome, The Exchange Project Stage and new for this year, The Little Theatre Acoustic Stage.
