Lancaster Rewind Festival, a new event for the city organised by Lancaster BID, takes place over the coming week, turning the clock back 50 years to reflect on how Lancaster changed.
Rewind is also showcasing some of the longest standing businesses in the city, highlighting our heritage, how buildings have changed, and remembering the music of 1972 from the likes of Elton John and Ziggy Stardust.
“The event will offer something for everyone and will highlight our wonderful city and how it has changed from 1972 to the present day,” say organisers.
