Blackburn town centre is spoilt for choice when it comes to picking somewhere to sit and enjoy a tipple with friends, or simply ‘people- watch’ with a brew. “THE BEST COFFEE IN TOWN IS EXCHANGE COFFEE ON FLEMING SQUARE. IT’S A BEAUTIFUL SHOP TO BOOT.” Patrick Grant Judge on The Great British Sewing Bee The Mall Blackburn offers a long list of high street brands and a massive £66 million investment added leading retailers such as Primark and H&M to the mix.

Historic buildings are protected, and public spaces improved to strengthen the town’s unique identity. The regeneration in the town’s Cathedral Quarter has provided a new business hub, hotel and public open space, as well as a new bus interchange – which makes getting here even easier. Throughout the town centre you’ll also find amazing street art on buildings. “THE COTTON EXCHANGE IS A BEAUTIFUL, MINI-CATHEDRAL, HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT.” Laurie Peake Director of Super Slow Way arts commissioning programme in Pennine Lancashire HOW TO GET HERE: Blackburn is easily accessed.

  • British Textile Biennial Programme 2019
    3RD OCTOBER —— 3RD NOVEMBER 2019 OF EVENTS PROGRAMME information visit the website at more details & programme For BRITISHTEXTILEBIENNIAL.CO.UK In my many years of working in the fashion industry, I’ve always celebrated the best of British textile traditions. It’s an industry that I love and admire and one that has been in my family for generations. It’s an industry alive with skill, passion and innovation; an industry with both an incredible history and an exciting future. I am delighted to be Patron of the British Textile Biennial to celebrate all of this and to ensure its future by encouraging young people to get engaged with making and manufacturing again. It’s important to Lancashire that the textile industry thrives because it provides great careers for thousands of people but also a great sense of connection with the past and a sense of pride.

    FACEBOOK Blah blah Messages etc.. ENGAGEMENT ANALYSIS CHARTS The chart in this document is collated daily by us as part of our commitment to ensure the marketing we conduct at our schemes is as social as it is effective for both the centres and their tenants. The statistics represent independent figures provided by Facebook and is based on the algorithms they run evaluating the relative performance of Pages and Posts relative to ‘Engagement’, measuring reactions, comments and shares. Messages PR harvest figures for 240 UK Shopping Centres and present them in a tabular form. We display the results in relative terms, which allows us to judge the performance of Pages when comparing the size of schemes and the number of ‘Page likes’ they enjoy. We also show the absolute positions where more Page likes, bigger budgets and boosts all work to generate increased engagement. Messages PR deliver astonishing results, regardless of how they are measured. In this vital Christmas sales period, our centres were placed within 10 of the top 20 places in relative terms and occupied the entire top 7. Even in absolute terms we placed 4 schemes in the top 10 UK Centre pages. Pentagon, Chatham was also number one in absolute terms, the best performing UK Shopping Scheme on Facebook, outperforming the mega centre Bluewater. Similarly Parkway in Middlesbrough outperformed The Metro Centre and Grays outperformed intu Lakeside by significant margins as you can see from the charts. We do not achieve these results by clever tweaking of posts, giveaways or boosts – It is because the work we undertake is genuinely social that we generate extraordinary results on social media.
