5 things to do this week in Central Lancashire & Fylde Coast inc some star-studded & unusual shows

Preston

First up in Preston, Forget-Me-Knot is on at the Preston Playhouse between Wednesday, January 29 and Saturday, February 1.

Presented by the Hall Players, Forget Me Knot is a play written by David Tristram which is full of hilarious twists and turns.

The show follows a man called Robert Zeinfeld who claims he has lost his memory and Detective Inspector Monroe who becomes more confused the deeper he digs.

Tickets are £12 for adults and £11 for senior citizens, students and children.

Chorley

In Chorley, Jap2Jap Car Rally is on at Heskin Hall on Sunday, February 2.

This monthly event, which usually happens on the first Sunday of each month, gives petrolheads the opportunity to unite for a day of all things vehicular.

Hosted by Jap 2 Jap, the ultimate Japanese car club, the gates to the event open at 11:00am.

To take part with a car it’s £3 whilst, motorbikes are free. Heskin Hall’s Cafe at the Manor will also be open offering fresh food and there's a bar too.

Slightly further out in Rivington, the iconic Pigeon Tower is having an open day on Saturday, February 1.

Built between 1905 and 1909, the Pigeon Tower is the focal point of the Rivington Terraced Gardens and offers spectacular views of the surrounding Lancashire countryside.

On the first Saturday of every month, its Volunteer Ambassadors open the Pigeon Tower for visitors to take a look inside.

Attendees are asked for a donation for entry, all of which goes toward the maintenance and upkeep of the Gardens.

Fylde Coast

Over on the Fylde Coast, Boyzlife are performing at the Winter Gardens Opera House on Friday, January 31.

The supergroup, comprised of Boyzone’s Keith Duffy and Westlife’s Brian McFadden are currently on a UK tour celebrating the iconic and defining hits from both 90s acts.

The Toilet Paper Diaries is on at The Old Electric on Friday, January 31.

Running between 7pm and 8:30pm, The Toilet Paper Diaries is a semi-autobiographical play, written and performed by Porcelain Delane.
