APPL organised a trip to see the Giant Spectacular in Liverpool, for the Super Slow Way project. On Saturday a coach collected people from Burnley and Blackburn, then set off to find the giants!

One of our APPL partners 'Burnley Youth Theatre' hosted a gala dinner recently, with an evening of drama and a three course meal.

On Saturday there was a fantastic event by Mid Pennine Arts, at Gawthorpe Hall in Padiham. There was a full afternoon of activities to celebrate the launch of the 'Portraits of the Past' project, and the publication of a new book.

At the moment we are working on a project we're really excited about, for the Canal & River Trust. We are making a short educational animated film for young people about the life cycle of a dragonfly.

Blackburn held a launch for its 'Creative Hive' at Blackburn Museum with live music, food, discussion and talks from local business people as well as Wayne Hemingway, who grew up in Blackburn.
