Hello,

With another week nearly at an end our focus begins to turn towards the weekend - and hopefully some quality time.

This weekend is a big one for gardening fans as the fabulous Chorley Flower Show returns for its seventh year.

You can find out everything you need to know about the event in our handy guide.

If you are out-and-about entertaining the kids this weekend, you'll be pleased to know that there are plenty of places where kids can eat for free, or as little as £1 - thanks to these kind companies.

On the food theme, if you are planing a Friday night takeaway you might want to check our latest round-up of the 1 and 2 star rated establishments inspected in Preston this year.

Stopping in and planning for your big day this weekend? Then you are in luck. Aimee Seddon has round-up the 5 star wedding venues featured on the Forbes Advisor list.

Finally, we were green with envy earlier this week as a couple scooped £3.6m on the Euromillions - how would you spend it?

Thanks for reading.

Colin
