THE awards promise to be a star-studded affair - outside of those all important awards.

Stillia, who won our Hotwired music contest earlier in the year, will be entertaining guests with a live music set after a lavish three course meal at The Halliwell Jones Stadium.

Among the guests on the night will be GB Olympic handball star Holly Lam-Moores, a group of dancers from Britain’s Got Talent winner George Sampson’s troupe will be performing live while Baroness Helen Newlove, victim’s commissioner, will also be in attendance.

And Mayor Clr Peter Carey will bring a sense of occasion to proceedings.

We will be reporting live from the venue on the night with tweets, videos and pictures from our reporting team.
