After months of uncertainty, and an extended cultural hiatus, Lancashire Encounter has returned with an exciting programme of contemporary and community arts from across Lancashire for every age group, which includes a mix of work that has been many years in the planning, and work that has been made in response to the seismic shifts of the last year, including a city-centre procession in celebration of Lancashire’s keyworkers, a day of family friendly shows in Winkley Square, a clutch of new artistic commissions from cinematic electronica act, Dirty Freud, musical theatre company Leo & Hyde, dance company, About Time and artist, Jamie Holman, as well as many more events and exhibitions across the city and online.
