An advent walk through a town s park has been approved by the council. From December 19, Bold Venture Park in Darwen will be turning into a winter wonderland thanks to the Friends of Bold Venture Park and local schools. A number of advent pictures, such as the three kings and a nativity scene, will be hidden at different locations throughout the park, and visitors will be tasked with locating them before writing the numbers and letters found on the images down on a quiz sheet in order to crack a code. Joanna Walsh from Darwen contacted the Friends of Bold Venture Park to see if it would be possible to organise the Christmas event and following consultation with Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council and with assistance from the Friends the advent walk through the park was approved.
