Lancashire Encounter festival 2022: cultural event in Preston attracted 30,000 visitors to city centre
Executive producer Esther Ferry-Kennington was delighted with the weekend and the response from those attending. She said: “We’re really pleased with the audiences we had at all of the events and we believe we had 30,000 people attending over the three days, which is just fantastic.
During the procession, girls from Preston Girl Guide groups paid tribute to HM Queen Elizabeth II by carrying photographs from different eras of her life. “This procession has been the perfect way to share our respect and admiration, and I’m happy and proud of the way in which we’ve all come together to make it happen.”
“I’m really pleased that the city council dedicated the parade to the remembrance of Queen Elizabeth II. It was such a fitting tribute and all of our dancers and artists were even more pleased to be involved because it meant so much.” He said: “The real success story for me was the imaginative use of all the public spaces, from new spaces like the University Square and the new Bus Station square to more established spaces like the Flag Market and Covered Market. It’s the first time we’ve had a city-wide event that’s used all of these different spaces and that’s really quite significant in showing what an asset they are to the city.
Zara said: “It’s been amazing to come back and go through all the streets that I know and see people I haven’t seen for a long time.
