On top of the free activities there will also be culturally inspiring stalls available all day and performances including:

Speaking about the event, UCLan’s senior Lecturer in Japanese, Takako Amano said:
“This is the eighth time we have run Japan Day on the Preston Campus, and it’s always a fantastic event that showcases the very best of Japan and its culture. After a break due to the pandemic, this time we are honoured to welcome a taiko drumming performance and workshops and language workshops by the Chief Language Adviser of the Japan Foundation. These activities give people in the North West of England a flavour of Japan.”
The event is free, but all attendees must reserve a place online.
