The last few years have been disastrous for the Royal Lancashire Show with venues being waterlogged. Now Moor Park is in the frame for the next one. Sounds a great idea.
The agricultural show run by the Royal Lancashire Agricultural Society displays all that is good about the country around Preston. To have it in a park in Preston makes a statement about the ties between town and country.
The park is a large area and using PNE’s facilities should help as well as bringing people to the National Football Museum. With police help the route from the motorway is fairly direct with access from 3 junctions and even shuttle services from the empty park and ride at Bluebell Way and the railway station.
Involvement from local schools will be beneficial although being held in July it will be in the holidays. Let’s hope the RLAS committee agree.
