Lancashire Encounter brings a fusion of dance, music, theatre, food and community to Preston this September, to celebrate the inspiring creativity and diversity of Lancashire.
Performance acts range from a magical torchlight procession, hip hop soundscape and Bangla folk art, to a world-famous Punch and Judy show and a gravity-defying urban astronaut, and more.
Plus, there's lots to get involved with, including dance workshops, a nature-inspired sensory experience and a story mixing station for kids, just to name a few.
Over three days and across eight locations, the festival offers an eclectic mix for everyone to encounter and enjoy.
