Discover the history of Preston's Caribbean community since the early sixties - with a focus on working life as well as leisure.

The Caribbean community has contributed significantly to Preston's economic, cultural and sporting life over the past 60 years. Displays and activities reveal the ways the community made its mark, and how they brought the influences of many different Caribbean islands to the town.

See some of the archives and research of Preston Black History Society, chat to members of the community about the objects on display, listen to the steel drums and maybe make music yourself.

Everyone is welcome - just drop in anytime during the event.
