(4.20 out of 5)
Preston FM will be out and about all summer, visiting six different venues in and around Preston - and we'd love you to come along and get involved.
We're taking our studios to Leyland, Ingol, Ribbleton, Garstang and Moor Park, before ending up in the City Centre with a special fortnight of celebrations to mark our second birthday as a full-time community radio station.
We'll be in each venue for two full weeks, and we'll be broadcasting our regular programmes live from each location as well as running special workshops, training sessions and drop-ins for anyone who fancies coming in and having a go at radio.
We'd love to hear from you if you live in any of the communities we'll be visiting - especially if you've got a story to tell or are involved in a local event or activity that we could help you to promote whilst we're out and about. Keep reading for full details about where we're going to be, and how you can get involved in Preston FM when we visit you this summer.
When are you here?
We'll be camping out in the Discovery Centre on the High Street in Garstang (in the old Tourist Information centre) for this fortnight, and bringing you all the latest from the Garstang Arts and Music Festival as well as meeting people and organisations from the world's first Fair Trade Town.
