Wednesday the 27th of November is Lancashire day.  So BBC Radio Lancashire went big.

Lancashire Week


BBC Radio Lancashire are taking up the challenge.

Over the five days Radio Lancashire did ten OBs from ten different locations.

In the Morning Brett Davidson came onto the Bus each day to co-host his show with Sally Naden who was elsewhere in the Radio Car.

Afternoon Presenter John (Gilly) Gillmore came on to the bus each afternoon at the second location to present his afternoon show.

Normally the morning show would hand over to the afternoon one at 12 noon however I needed time to get from one venue to the next.  So a guest presenter came in each day to present between 12 noon and 1pm.

The Venue where

Monday

AM – CONCOURSE SHOPPING CENTRE, SKELMERSDALE
PM - ORMSKIRK


Tuesday 

AM – LEYLAND
PM - PRESTON FLAG MARKET

Wednesday

PM – DALTON SQUARE, LANCASTER



Thursday

AM – ACCRINGTON MARKET

Friday 

AM – FREEPORT SHOPPING VILLAGE FLEETWOOD
PM - BLACKPOOL RETAIL PARK

On the Bus we have two tapestries with lots of patchwork from the towns all over the county.  The "Peoples Patchwork" was made by WI or Kit groups across the county and lots of people came on to see.

A red rose was given out to every lady that came along, and a few men, as a symbol of Lancashire.
