E2M is celebrating local heritage with the 2026 Heritage Festival!
This Summer sign up to FREE creative workshops (25th July – 28th August 2026), culminating in the Heritage Festival event at Dalton Square & the E2M Centre on Saturday 29th August.
Join us to celebrate the heritage of Lancaster & Morecambe, as presented by 11-18s
Join us on Saturday 29th August, 11am-4pm between Dalton Square and the E2M Centre for creative drop-in workshops, live performances, art exhibitions, chances to win prizes, food/drink and more!
The festival is completely FREE to attend and is suitable for all ages!
Come along to support 11-18s who have worked tremendously hard all Summer on their heritage crafts, inspired by the rich histories of Lancaster & Morecambe.
The project has been delivered in partnership with Lancaster City Museums, the Lancaster Black History Group and over 20 amazing freelance artists and youth workers.
No need to book – just come along!
Come and see us at one of our exciting Heritage Festival events around Lancashire & Cumbria.

Being nervous about new things is totally normal. At E2M, we really understand how you feel. Our groups are small, and everyone that comes agrees to a kindness contract, so you know you’ll be surrounded by friendly faces. Our amazing volunteers are here to support you and make sure you feel welcome. E2M is all about being a stress-free, friendly place where you can relax and have fun. Come along and see for yourself!
We don’t want travel expenses to be an obstacle to anyone attending! Escape2Make will cover your bus fare up to £4.50 per day for any workshops you attend. Just show your bus ticket to the session facilitator at the end of your workshop to claim back your bus fare!
"It is very inspiring to know that this project has worked with local young people to plan and deliver a wonderful event that celebrates the rich heritage of the North West of England. We know that heritage can play a huge role in bringing people together and furthering a sense of pride in local communities; in turn boosting the local economy. This project is a perfect example.”
Helen Featherstone, Director of England (North), National Lottery Heritage Fund
