Additional family-focused activities include a mobile farm, donkey rides, traditional funfair rides and arts and craft workshops, while visitors can also tap into their adventurous side and have a go at axe-throwing and target shooting.
A variety of food vendors will be available on both days serving everything from gourmet burgers, pizzas and fish and chips to cakes, pastries and sweet treats. There will also be a fully licensed bar in the showground providing a range of refreshments.
Councillor Carl Coughlan, lead member for Leisure, said: "The Green Fayre is one of the highlights of West Lancashire's brilliant and diverse events calendar.
