Festival organiser Joshua Holden said:“We know the cost of family days out can quickly add up, so bringing back the Family Access Pass was really important. The Lancashire Festival has always been about giving people access to live arts, music and culture in a way that feels welcoming, affordable and community-led.“This year is extra special because we’re celebrating 10 years of the festival. What started as a simple idea has grown into a huge community celebration, and we can’t wait to welcome families back to Preston for a brilliant day in the park.”The festival will run from 11am to 7pm, with the Main Stage opening at 12pm. Tickets are available online now, with individual tickets priced from £5 + booking fee and gate tickets priced at £7.50 per person, subject to availability.
