A DANCE and drumming workshop is being held next week in memory of a five-year-old girl who died of cancer.

The event, at Stoops and Hargher Clough Youth Club, Venice Street, Burnley, is for Paris Devlin, who died in August.

The workshop will include a performance by local youngsters dedicated to the brave former Cherry Fold Primary School pupil.

Paris died at the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, Pendlebury, after being diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a rare cancer that affects fewer than 100 children in the UK each year.

She had been ill for three weeks and had only been diagnosed with the cancer a week before she died.

A memorial garden has been opened by Prince's Trust volunteers at Paris's former school for friends to remember her by.

The workshop is next Saturday from 1pm to 4pm.
