We’ve had a fantastic summer of events here in South Ribble that many people have enjoyed such as: Penwortham and Longton Live, Leyland Festival, Music in the Park, Music in the Town, Lostock Hall Carnival and the annual commemoration of the Battle of Bamber Bridge.
Over the summer South Ribble Borough Council has been developing its first ever cultural strategy which has included a review of our events programme.
Sadly, along with several other similar events across the region, we have had to make the difficult decision that Music in the Park will not be continuing in 2026 and beyond due to ever rising costs.
Our new cultural strategy will provide an exciting opportunity for communities across South Ribble to be involved in the development of new events for the future.
In the meantime, we are looking forward to our next two events, a Taste of Leyland in September and the Leyland Christmas light switch on, in November.
A further announcement for events in 2026 and beyond will be made later in the year.
