Burnley Football Club will mark their return to the Premier League during a civic celebration next week.

Manager Scott Parker and players will be at Burnley Town Hall from 6.15pm on Tuesday, May 6, for interviews on the balcony, with fans watching.

This will be followed by an open-top bus parade to Turf Moor from 7pm, which should take approximately an hour.

Burnley FC manager Scott Parker, his coaching staff and the squad will be officially welcomed by Burnley Council chief executive officer Lukman Patel and the Mayor of Burnley.

Lukman Patel said: “It’s fantastic to see Burnley FC back where they belong again, in the Premier League.

“Everyone at the club, and all of the supporters, have done a brilliant job in getting us back into the best football league in the world.

“It’s often said that Burnley FC and Burnley as a town have a close connection like no other club in the country. The Clarets are such an important part of our community, whether you are a supporter or not.

“When the club is doing well, Burnley and the whole borough seems to be that much brighter and positive, and gives us all such a massive boost.

“Here’s to next season and all the challenges and opportunities ahead. Let’s look forward to bringing some of the biggest names in world football to Burnley once again.”

The route will take the bus down Manchester Road and right onto pedestrianised St James’ Street, straight across the crossroads into Yorkshire Street, and finally into Harry Potts Way and Turf Moor.

The players will not be appearing at Turf Moor and no public events are planned at the stadium.

Burnley.co.uk and Burnley.social have joined forces with Discover Burnley and Burnley FC in the Community for an afternoon of fun activities leading up to the players’ arrival.

These will run on the 6th May from midday until 4.30pm in the public realm outside of McDonald’s.
