A four-day celebration of St Patrick's Day with music, family fun and Irish dance is coming to a Lancaster hotel.

The first ever St Paddy's Family Fun Festival runs at the Royal Kings Arms Hotel in Lancaster from Friday March 14 to St Patrick's Day itself, Monday March 17.

The festival begins with a screening of the Cheltenham horse racing festival on Friday and then music from DJ AB in The Crypt until late.

On Saturday, there will be a bouncy castle and face painting in the beer garden from 11am to 5pm.

The Morecambe Irish Dance Academy will perform in the library from 3pm.

There will also be music in the ballroom from Diverted Traffic and David Frederick, and music from DJ Oat in The Crypt.

Then on Sunday, the bouncy castle and face painting returns from 11am to 5pm, and there will be performances from musician Sam Frank, the Morecambe Irish Dance Academy and Josh Bilsborrow. There will also be a quiz in The Crypt.

Then the festival ends on St Patrick's Day itself, with the Morecambe Irish Dance Academy, and music from James Candlin and The Captains Crew.
