Friends of the Earth and Frack Free Lancashire are among the organisations to speak at the event.

Cuadrilla have applied to Lancashire County Council to resume fracking at Roseacre Wood, which is near Inskip and Woodplumpton.

The event on Tuesday 4 November is a few weeks before the county council makes its decision on whether to allow fracking to resume.

It was suspended in 2011 after the Blackpool area experienced an earthquake following activity at the firm’s Preese Hall site.

Helen Rimmer, Friends of the Earth
Mike Hill, Oil and Gas Engineer, B.Sc C.Eng. MIET
