A UNIQUE exhibition to highlight the church's work in Lancashire is to be held at Blackburn Cathedral.

Around 50 projects will be represented at the event from September 23 to 29.

It is all the Urban Priority Areas (UPA) projects will come together since it was set up eight years ago.

Canon Dick Cartmell, vicar at St James, Lower Darwen, and who leads the UPA group, said the exhibition will give people the chance to see the Church of England's commitment to schemes in Lancashire.

He added: "The exhibition will also give the hundreds of people involved the chance to exchange expertise, gain encouragement from each other and learn about potential sources of new funding."

A Thanksgiving Evensong on Thursday, September 26 at the cathedral will be followed by a reception and opportunities to share ideas and plans.
