The Windmill Performance and Education Centre at Lytham’s Lowther Pavilion recently celebrated its first birthday, with its debut year having seen it stage almost 500 different events.
Having rung in the landmark occasion with a celebratory event earlier this week, attendees gathered in their droves, perfectly summing up the widespread appeal of the incredibly varied programme the venue has been able to offer since it opened last Spring.
From film screenings to tea dances, workshops, intimate concerts and so much more, the £3m centre has expanded opportunities for education work and unique programming, exceeding all expectations.
Take a look at some of our best snaps from the anniversary event below...
