Senior reporter Aimee Seddon with her entertainment guide to three best things to do next week in Preston, Chorley and South Ribble
Preston
First in Preston, a brand new sci-fi horror show is on at the University of Lancashire Media Factory between Friday, October 2 and Saturday, October 3.
Called ‘The Void’, it is set in a decaying future featuring desperate humans, all-seeing AI, and memories of a distant, dangerous past.
Combining powerful illusions and atmospheric projections, this story, produced by Shock Horror Productions and Watford Palace Theatre, asks ‘what are you afraid of?
Chorley
Next, in Chorley, the highly anticipated Chorley Live 2026 is back between Friday, October 2 and Saturday, October 3.
This annual weekend of music and entertainment will see 280 performances across 36 venues all over the town centre.
Wristbands are £6 each, although under 12s go free, and are available from participating venues.
South Ribble
Finally, in South Ribble, the Autumn Transport Show takes place on Sunday, October 4.
Taking place at The British Commercial Vehicle Museum in Leyland, this annual show features classic trucks, buses, vans and cars including some surprises from overseas.
Visitors are invited to the museum to see the wonderful collection of vehicles, and maybe experience our Lorry Driving Simulator, or relax watching a film in the Cinema.
There is no charge for exhibiting your vehicle and museum entry will be discounted to £7 each for exhibitor and one passenger.
Otherwise tickets for the museum cost £12 for adults, £6 for children.
You can also take a look at all the live events on in your local area via sites such as Eventbrite, Ticketmaster and Eventim.
