Churches Together in Lancashire is partnering with Lancashire Mind this year at the Royal Lancashire Show, with the aim of focusing on farming and mental health.

The picture above shows the Church Tent team in a previous year when they were supported by TV and radio personality Rev. Kate Bottley.

The annual event takes place near Salesbury Hall in Ribchester from July 19-21. Visit the show website here. 

The Churches Together Tent Team brings together volunteers from across all the Christian denominations in Lancashire; including The Church of England. 

There will be lots happening in the Tent over the three days. Download a pdf with more information here. 

The three days culminate in a 'Church in the Field Service' on Sunday, July 21 at 3pm which will be led by Rev. Clare Downing (United Reform Church) with Captain Tracy Collis (Salvation Army) and Rev. Liz MacLean (CofE) and with music led by the Balderstone Brass Band.
