The weekend of Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th September saw the official opening of the Broughton Sound Tour and an enthusiastic response from it's first listeners. Thanks to the efforts of the FRED festival marketing team, the local tourist information centre and a two-day respite from the wet weather, the tour was visited by around 30 people who spent a combined total of approximately 50 hours exploring the historic market town whilst wearing large pairs of headphones.
FRED visitors, walkers, families and local residents alike set off up the steep climb to High Cross to hear children from St James' school, Millom recreate the sounds of the Hodbarrow Iron Ore mines, before arriving back at the square to the sound of a flapping salmon tail.
The tour will also run on the weekends of: 4th/5th October and 11th/12th October.
