Gather@ Haslingden Market

gather@ Haslingden Market 9am to 3pm
We’re back in Haslingden, bringing together makers, food & drink, and live music - plus something very special this year… a puppet rave.
This unique performance is energetic, immersive, and interactive, where people dance and rave with handmade puppets, blending electronic music with puppetry. It’s playful, creative, and fun, and suitable for kids, young people, and adults alike.
WORKSHOP: We’ll also be hosting a puppet-making workshop ahead of the event, giving you the chance to create your own puppet to bring along to the rave. Please go to our ticket page to book your place at Haslingden library. It starts at 9.30am
