A brand new music festival in Barrow is hoping to take advantage of the influx of Dave Day visitors.
The South Cumbrian Blues and Soul Festival is taking place at Hawcoat Park on June 8 and 9.

On the same dates, thousands of people will be coming to Barrow and Furness to celebrate the life of Dave Myers.
The organisers of the festival are aspiring to make the most of the opportunity, allowing visitors in need of accommodation to camp overnight at the park.
This will cost £15, with an additional £5 per person if the tent is being used by a group, and includes shower and changing facilities, as well as access to the Saturday festival performances.
With various acts already lined up for the festival, it is sure to contemplate the wider festivities across south Cumbria.
All the money raised from the event will be going to St Mary's Hospice.
To book a space to camp, contact admin@hawcoatpark.co.uk.
