The annual event, held in partnership with the University of Central Lancashire will be on Sunday 7 June 2020. As one of the biggest days out in Lancashire’s outdoor events calendar, with over 10,000 visitors last year, you are sure to find plenty to see and do across the whole College site.

Like everyone, we desperately hope the situation in the UK improves by June, and rest assured any decisions on the event will be made with public health as priority. To the many of you who have already purchased tickets, thank you. We will contact customers directly should there be the need to do so going forward.
