Join us for Gregson 2025: Past, Present, and Future, an event celebrating the rich history of the Gregson and all we have to look forward to. This event will include our Annual General Meeting (AGM), where you can find out more about what’s been happening at the centre, meet some of our new trustees and say goodbye (and THANK YOU) to our retiring trustees.
But that’s not all! We’ll also be celebrating where we’ve come from, and dancing into the future with Lancaster Music Co-op!
Here’s the schedule:
3-4pm – Tour of Highfield One of the Gregson’s sub-groups, Highfield is a previously derelict local sports facility that was brought back to life by local people. With a recent £40k resurface and a huge volunteer effort, this is your chance to see it in person!
5.30-6pm – Gregson Book Launch We’re celebrating the launch of a new book, led by Dr Matt Cole, all about the Gregson’s history: To Serve the Needs of the People: a History of the Gregson Centre. We are so excited to see a book all about the Gregson which Matt and Gregson Volunteers have been working tirelessly on. We can’t wait to share it with you!
6-7pm – AGM We invite you to have your say – Gregson Members can speak, vote and elect new trustees, so make sure you come along and help our charity as we move into 2026 and beyond! Not a member yet?- it’s FREE!
7.30-8pm – Cafe Bar Interior Design – Feedback Session Our ‘Design & Vibe’ group have been working to reimagine our Cafe Bar space – this is your chance to find out what they’ve been doing and have your say!
