Hoghton Tower in Preston was the venue for the Bowker Centenary Family Festival, celebrating the company’s 100 year anniversary.

The event took place to thank the employees for their contributions over the years. The rain didn't dampen the celebratory spirit as those who attended enjoyed a range of activities including cake decorating, bird of prey experiences and an F1 simulator.

Taking part in the activities also meant guests had a chance to win amazing prizes including a two night stay at Storrs Hall, the use of a new BMW for the weekend and a track day at Oulton Park. Being a family fun day, there were also children's activities such as fun fair rides, and inflatable games, making it a day full of fun and laughter in spite of the weather.
