Blaze, Ludus Dance and More Music all performed during the Guild City Festival last September and they all appear in the Harris Flights programme, entertaining crowds with dance and live music. Preston based Bluestreak Arts will premiere a specially commissioned piece for Harris Flights; a theatrical performance fusing live music, dance and physical theatre to tell the story of the architect of the Harris Museum, James Hibbert.

Staff and students from the University of Central Lancashire feature heavily throughout the programme bringing a variety of events to the Harris Flights including science, children’s storytelling and dance.
