But after hailing the 2025 festival, which was basked in lovely sunshine, a huge success organisers have dismissed the fears.

Highest Point organiser Rich Dyer, of Northern Powerhouse Events, said: “We’ve had such a great weekend with tens of thousands of people enjoying themselves in the park.

“The whole team behind the festival is based here in Lancashire so we’re really pleased that we can showcase local talent and support the area.

“We’re already thinking about next year’s festival and we can’t wait to be able to confirm more details soon.”
