Encounter Festival - Ribble of Dreams - imitating the dog
Take part in this art installation across Preston shop windows for Encounter Festival
Peer into our magical story boxes for an extraordinary journey through the city, across landscapes both real and fantastical, strange and familiar.
Ribble of Dreams is a story of escape, of exploration and of discovery made by imitating the dog and the people of Preston.
The installations will be visible across a trail of shop windows in the city centre. To find out where the magic will happen, keep an eye out for updates here, and on our social media.
Visit imitating the dog - Ribble of Dreams to see more.
