From Left to rights (2026-2029) 

What's on at LeftCoast?

Welcoming Winter

We’ve been working with international artists Heather Peak and Ivan Morison to transform a seven-acre piece of disused land in Mereside into the Field of Dreams – a wildflower meadow growing biodiversity, art materials and new possibilities. 

This Lightpool, step into the meadow and meet the Dreamers – a family of extraordinary, three-metre-tall sculptures created by Morison and community volunteers using the wildflowers harvested from the field.

While the Dreamers take their place as guardians of the meadow through winter, artists AndNow will transform the land with a ceremonial light show and performance, bringing these remarkable creatures to life after dark.

Inspired by Fylde Coast traditions of coming together as the seasons change, Welcoming Winter invites you to gather, celebrate and experience the Field of Dreams in a whole new light.

This ceremony is the postponed event from the 23rd October, and will now take place:

Friday 30th October

6.30pm to 8pm

Find the Field of Dreams opposite Tesco Extra on Mereside’s old playing fields. (Clifton Road, FY4 4QA)

The event is free and everyone is welcome. 

Out of Wind

Join artist Bruno Schooling for a series of free woodwork workshops where we’ll transform locally felled wood into a collection of beautiful objects to display at The Grange’s Apple Festival this October.

Whether you’re completely new to woodworking or simply curious to try something different, these sessions are a chance to slow down, make with your hands and see wood in a new light. Together we’ll explore wood as an artistic material – discovering its textures, shapes, and character. Along the way, you’ll learn different skills and techniques that you can take forward and continue using in everyday life.

All Our Stories 

Join architectural designers Ecaterina Stefanescu and Sam Eadington for a series of FREE model-making workshops. Every home has a story to tell. 

Whether its your kitchen, bedroom, or a favourite corner, the places we live shape our experiences. Together, we’ll explore the spaces we inhabit and how we make them our own. Using simple materials, you’ll create small-scale models and miniature objects of your home while sharing memories together. No experience needed, everyone welcome.
