Are you ready? 100 Days Building PPL starts Thursday 12th April
Designed to be a slow burner, getting you, your friends, your communities, the city, and people from far and wide involved, 100 days Building PPL is a campaign that will help change the way Preston engages with its communities. The 100 Days Building PPL is a countdown campaign linking together a variety of events from our weekender food & drink space to workshops to performance.
What’s happening?
Every day there will be an opportunity to get involved with Building PPL. From talks, to workshops, to learning new skills, by way of food & drink, social space, opportunities to shop at specialist markets, and of course to have your say on the future of the city, you’ll help build the vision and the action for the building, the performance and activity programme, and have a fantastic time in our weekender courtyard social. And by day 0, we’ll be ready to go, with a space that works for you.
You’ll be able to follow what we’re doing across social media & on our site www.theppl.co.uk. We’ll release new information all the time, people are getting involved bit by bit so keep looking out for what’s happening. We’re not saying we’re perfect, we’re starting as we mean to go on, with a bar and some food in a courtyard.
