Robert Pallant Brings Stylish German Bedrooms To The Fylde Coast Robert Pallant Designs have over 30 years experience in the design, supply and installation of bedrooms, kitchens and living spaces. Their refreshing approach is to ensure that each unique design is individually tailored to suit the client’s particular needs and budget, down to the very finest of details.

W

e take great pride in the fact that our reputation is built on a solid foundation of quality, innovation and service and we constantly strive to create visually stunning yet functional environments for each of our valued clients. We offer a very personal service, and really listen to the customer. I deal directly with the customer throughout the process and then hand over to my fitting team – the twins, who have worked with me since starting out 30 years ago.” – Robert remarks.

The new bedroom showroom (opened only last week) houses the latest trends in bedrooms. All of the bedrooms supplied by Robert Pallant Designs are made to order from top German manufacturer Nolte Delbrück, and offer superior quality, form and function.

Robert added: “Nolte Delbrück are one of the top German bedroom manufacturers, they are a fourth generation family run business with whom we have a great working relationship. All orders are tailored down to the very last detail. The collection includes bedrooms designs for all, from traditional through to contemporary styles, from solid built free-standing to fully-fitted units.

10 22

The perfect bedroom is complete with the inclusion of lighting, fabrics, curtains, blinds, cushions & more. Robert for many years has teamed up with local fabrics designer Susan Evans. Robert added “Susan came on board when we collaborated on The Raithewaite Hall Project in Whitby - 8 cottages with the Spa Hotel. We now use her for all our client’s bedrooms & kitchens. Susan offers an unbelievable choice of stunning fabrics and designs to compliment and complete your room with style.

Robert looks forward to welcoming existing and new clients to his showroom – your dream bedroom is waiting for you!

One month to go until Lancaster Music Festival 2015!

Running from 8th to 12th October, this year’s 7th annual music festival promises to be bigger and better than ever before Festival Director Ben Ruth says: “One of the original aims of the festival was to highlight the quality, diversity and sheer quantity of live music in this small city. When people visit Lancaster they’re always struck by this abundance in venues within easy stagger.

Many people visiting Lancaster during the festival come back to enjoy the city’s thriving live music venues. Lancaster’s music scene deserves to be on the map nationally and internationally. We’re already seeing Lancaster as THE Northern city for live music.”

The growth has been staggering for a community run, non-public grant funded festival. 2014 saw an estimated 40,000 visitors from around the UK boosting the local economy by well over a million pounds in one weekend. The sun shone and cash machines ran out. It was like being in Greece.

In 2015 there’s more venues, more sponsors, a fatter brochure, an event application, new website, later hours, more outdoor events. More music everywhere.

Thousands of artists enquired about the festival.

The very top 30 international and national acts have made it onto the program to join the prodigious world-class local talent that between them cover every conceivable genre.

In 2014 Lancaster Castle staged live music for the first time in 750 years and was one of the standout features of the festival. Not only is the Duchy of Lancaster on board again but the Queen even visited earlier this year to show her approval.

And the festival is expanding outdoor family friendly activities. An International Stage outside Judges Lodgings hosted by More Music, a full programme of family friendly events for Market Square, Sun Square and Dalton Squares.

Outdoor Events Director Lucy Reynolds says: “Sometimes people don’t realise how lucky we are to have these great performance spaces right in the centre of the city. It’s a fantastic opportunity to bring the festival to people who wouldn’t otherwise want to visit some of the pubs and clubs. Of course the incredible weather that Lancaster is always guaranteed in October is an added bonus!”

There’ll also be an expansion in Church Street this year with Squires and The Crafty Scholar joining existing venues The Study Room, The Sun Inn and The Stonewell Tavern.

Barclays Bank will again be hosting their popular Bands in the Bank sessions and this year they’ll be open on Sunday for the first time ever. That’s right - Lancaster’s Unofficial Bank Holiday will see one bank actually opening all weekend. Possibly the one Lancaster bank that doesn’t end up with empty ATMs. Visitors looking for a more “festival in a field” experience will have the opportunity of camping this year thanks to Lancaster Cricket Club opening its ground and pavilion (but not the wicket). Not only will grass and hard-standing pitches be available but showering and bar facilities will be offered in the pavilion less than ten minutes’ walk from Lancaster Castle.

All the shows at this year’s festival are FREE other than a nominal £1 entry into Lancaster Castle.

It’s not just about bringing visitors into the city; the festival wants to increase the scope and number of live performances available to locals throughout the year.

Ben again says: “People here often talk about the ‘70s and ‘80s when Lancaster was on all the big live music tours. Bands from Genesis to The Stranglers, from Queen to Madness have played Lancaster in the past.

We see in a few years Lancaster once again standing proud on the international and national circuit.”

“Two of our team have already arranged for keyboard rock legend Rick Wakeman to perform in Lancaster Priory, one of the city’s most iconic buildings, the weekend following the festival which we’re also very excited about.”

All in all, there will be a diverse array of 50+ venues and locations featuring more than 200 acts over a very long weekend. Indeed we heartily recommend “Take Monday Off!” and to cater for those who do there will be a smorgasbord of chilled afternoon music sessions on the Monday that proved very popular in 2014.

See the full line-up for this year’s festival at www.lancastermusicfestival.com. You can also follow all the festival updates on Facebook www.facebook.com/LancasterMusicFest or on Twitter twitter.com/LancsMusicFest.

Five Wyre parks among the best in Britain

PHOTO: Sweet Sally

Green Flags are flying proudly at five of Wyre’s parks, as Keep Britain Tidy unveils this year’s recipients of their prestigious awards.

K

epple Lane in Garstang, Poulton’s Vicarage Park, Hawthorne Park in Thornton and the Wyre Estuary Country Park in Stanah are all on the list along with Fleetwood’s Memorial Park, which has received the award for the first time.

Green Flag Awards recognise and reward the best parks and green spaces across the country. A Green Flag flying overhead is a sign to the public that the space boasts the highest possible standards, is beautifully maintained and has excellent facilities.

Councillor David Henderson, Cabinet member with responsibility for parks at Wyre Council, said. “I’m absolutely delighted to receive five Green Flag Awards and official recognition that our parks are among the best in the country.

“We take great care of our green spaces in Wyre because we know how important they are to communities. It’s particularly great news that Memorial Park has earned a flag at the first time of applying, following comprehensive restoration work funded by the Heritage and Big Lottery Funds.

“I’d like to thank our parks and open spaces staff and all the volunteers, fundraisers and Friends groups for their invaluable help looking after them.”
