Preston city centre saw an eclectic mix of entertainment take place as the Encounter Festival returned.

Centre stage was outside the Bus Station as the captivating performance of WILD saw two showings on the high-wire set at lunchtime and mid-afternoon.

The play, performed by Motionhouse, explores our disconnect with the natural environment.

Back on the Flag Market there were fashion shows, music and more.

While the Communities and Traditions Stage saw choirs and performances throughout Saturday afternoon.

Pictures below come from the Preston Photographic Society as Michael Porter, Ian Heslop, Kate Tomlinson, Lesley Wilkinson, Nick Raponi and Paul Yates witnessed the Saturday daytime of the Encounter Festival.
