FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Lancashire Festival 2026 Marks Its 10th Anniversary
The Lancashire Festival returns in 2026 to celebrate its 10th anniversary, marking a decade of live music, arts, and community culture.
Since launching in 2016, the festival has grown from a simple idea into a large-scale event, now featuring over 200 performers from across the region.
This year’s Main Stage will host a mix of live music and performance, with appearances from Sounds Out, Bingo Bay, Rayna James, Acoustic.FM, Angels Elite Show Team, Lucas Williams, The Lavelles, and Electro 90’s.
Three carnival dance troupes will also be returning for the anniversary – dancing in front of the main stage: Isles in Harmony, Spectrum Association, and Rhythm Carnival Troupe.
The Arts Stage will feature circus performers and workshops from Preston Circus School, alongside dance and theatre shows from local organisations and schools. Visitors can also expect a wrestling ring show from Top Rope Wrestling Academy and live bubble performances.
Family attractions will include Torrs Exotics Petting Zoo and a husky petting area alongside our other small family attractions.
There will also be a wide range of food, drink, and market stalls from across Lancashire.
Festival organiser Joshua Holden said:
“It’s great to reach 10 years. The festival has always been about giving people a platform and bringing the community together through live art, music and culture. I’ve done this for a decade without taking a wage, relying on public support to keep it going. This year, with sponsorship and funding coming in, things have run more smoothly, even though the work behind the scenes never really stops.We started with a simple idea and built it into something real. It shows what can be done with enough determination and effort.”
Community Guestlist tickets are available, and anyone facing financial difficulty can use the promo code **CommGuest**. The festival aims to remain as accessible and inclusive as possible.
