THE ANNUAL Buckley Jubilee is set for its return to the town.

The popular event will take place this year on Tuesday, July 11 for what will be its 167th edition. 

The service will begin at 3pm followed by the procession.

The Buckley Jubilee, traditionally held on the second Tuesday in July, was founded in 1857. A day proudly marked in the calendars of the Buckley residents. 

Organisers have confirmed the route will be the same as last year, commencing from the Common, along Mill Lane before turning right onto Mold Road, turning around outside Bistre Emmanuel Church. 

All the churches, chapels and the talented Royal Buckley Town band will return together to the Common. 

The procession will be led by the Royal Buckley Town Band and supported by the Deeside St John's Ambulance Service.
