This year the Encounter Festival gives you free outdoor theatre shows, games, and live music at various locations around Preston city centre, local heroes on the Community and Traditions Stage, outside the Guild Hall, and as always, the signature Torchlight Procession will bring music and dancing through the streets and into the city centre.
