TALENTED singers will be strutting their stuff as Ramsbottom’s own X Factor comes to a climax.

Fifteen finalists will take to the microphone for Saturday’s grand final at the Fusilier pub in Bolton Road West.

Singers, ranging in age from 20 to 75-years-old, will perform for the title and their chance to win cash prizes.

The final takes place at 8pm and will raise cash for Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary.

There is more competitive fun on Sunday when the pub hosts its annual dog beauty contest at 4pm.

Any dog can take part at a cost of £3 and all money raised will go to the sanctuary.

For further details on either event, contact landlady Jaz Gibbs on 07894 055325.
