My three best things to do next week in and around Preston including various free events

Preston

First in Preston, the mobile event tent in Ashton, better known as the Met, has a whole week of activities planned for next week.

Tuesday will see the Sandbags Veteran Cafe on Tour then Sound Dreaming Journey with Anthony.

A history talk called ‘Lock, Stock and Barge’ takes place om Wednesday, and a Young Peoples Silent Disco on Friday.

Saturday is then One Voice Community Choir’s 'Soul Food Festival', whilst Sunday is a Hidden in Plain Sight Walk with Sue Latimer.

All the events next week are free apart from the Soul Food Festival which asks for a donation of £7.50,

Also in Preston, the Winckley Square Summer Festival is on Sunday, July 26.

The free event, organised by the Friends of Winckley Square, will take place between 12:00pm and 4:00pm.

There will be free entertainment and activities to suit all ages, whilst there will be a pop up bar and food too.

Chorley

Finally, in Chorley, Houghton Tower will host the Great British Motor Show on Sunday, July 26.

Set on the grounds of the tower, this popular event showcases an incredible line-up of classic cars, motorcycles, performance and supercars, classic 4x4s, commercials, and club displays - all surrounded by breathtaking countryside views.

The tea rooms will also be open and there will be trade stands too.
