Senior reporter Aimee Seddon with her entertainment guide to three best things to do next week in and around Preston.
Preston
First in Preston, STRATA, an indie band which formed in the city are performing a homecoming show on Friday, August 7.
Taking place at The Ferret, doors open at 7pm and the show is expected to end at 11pm.
Describing STRATA’s sound, the Ferret says expect “melodic riffs, punchy basslines and a raw British edge built for sweaty rooms”.
Unfortunately tickets have now sold out.
Also in Preston, the mobile event tent in Ashton, better known as the Met, has plenty of great activities planned for its penultimate week.
Tuesday sees a Drum and Strum music session with Rachael and Jon, and a family PJs karaoke/disco.
Wednesday is then Men’s Wellness Day featuring a variety of activities, and Friday is a Circus skills class with Joshua Holden.
Next weekend then sees a Bollywood Night on the Saturday and an Arts and Craft Fair on the Sunday.
All of next week’s events are free.
Chorley
Finally in Chorley, ChorFest is back between Friday, August 7 and Sunday, August 9.
Taking place in the grounds of Astley Hall, the outdoor music festival has a three day line up featuring tribute acts and local artists.
The family friendly event will also have street food and bars on site.
Weekend tickets are £50.59 for those aged 16 and over, and £25.30 for those aged 5 to 16.
Day tickets are also available, ranging from £14.76 to £28.46 for adults or £6.32 to £14.76 for children.
