As Barrowford Library turns 70 years old this year, we're turning the clock back to 1956 for a 1950s Tea Party-themed Fun Palace. With a focus very much on community and 'analogue' fun, this is what we'll be offering:

• Musical entertainment: The Ukes of Hazzy ukuleles (11am) and Barrowford Community Choir (12pm) will each be performing a selection of hits from the 1950s;
• Food and drink: the library's Friends volunteers will be providing 1950s-inspired cakes and sweet treats synonymous with the decade;
• Games: the library's Culture Hacks will be holding a vintage table-top games stall and - if the weather's fine - some hula hooping, hopscotch or skipping outdoors;
• Crafts: simple crafts synonymous with the era, plus a homemade crafts stall mostly created and kindly donated by the library's Knit and Natter group;
• Gardening: local gardening community group Barrowford in Bloom will be planting and providing spring bulbs to take home;
• Memories: there'll be a trip down memory lane with a memory box of 1950s memorabilia, plus a display of bygone Barrowford, created by the Friends volunteers in conjunction with the library staff;
• Plus copies of popular book titles (adult and fiction) first released during the 1950s, and a Barrowford-based quiz.
