After almost 30 years of Spot On Lancashire bringing professional performing arts to the people of Lancashire in democratic, non-traditional spaces such as village halls, churches and libraries, Spot On’s first ever festival came to Poulton-le-Fylde in June 2024.
Spot On’s first venue delivering its rural touring programme was in Churchtown, Wyre in 1995 – less than 10 miles from Poulton town centre – so it felt right that the first ever Spot On Festival would be based in Wyre.
We described the 2024 festival as a whole season of Spot On performances over one weekend in one town! Taking place from 14-16 June 2024, the festival presented an eclectic and diverse programme, bringing theatre, music, dance, puppets, comedy and spoken word for all ages. It included a mix of free and ticketed events in venues across the town – Poulton-le-Fylde Community Hall, St. Chad’s Church, Poulton Library, and the town centre’s public outdoor spaces, Market Place as well as around The Teanlowe Centre.
