My three best things to do next week in & around Preston inc International Women's Day events
Senior reporter Aimee Seddon with her entertainment guide to three best things to do next week in and around Preston.
Preston
First in Preston, the Dragonfly International Film Festival takes place at the New Continental on Saturday, March 7.
This is a new short film and music video competition with a live screening and awards event.
It aims to celebrate diverse and creative short filmmaking from across the globe, with one category especially for Lancashire filmmakers.
Running between 4pm and 11pm, tickets are £11.55
Chorley
Second, in Chorley, the comedian Stevie Martin brings her latest show ‘Clout’ to the Chorley Theatre on Wednesday, March 4.
The first leg of her tour sold out so the recent Taskmaster star is back with extra dates due to overwhelming demand.
On that note, the Chorley show has unfortunately just sold out.
Across the area
Finally, it’s International Women’s Day next Sunday (March 8) and various events are being held to mark the occasion.
On Saturday, St George’s Church Hall in Chorley is hosting a variety of activities, displays, performances and speeches between 11am and 4pm.
On Sunday, The Harris in Preston is hosting a ‘Share her Story’ event with the Friends of Edith Rigby and artist Phoebe Foxtrot between 11:30 and 3:30.
Both these events are free.
