Line of people will form to celebrate historic 'Mill Race' water beneath Lancaster city centre

Participants will be asked to form a line along the route of the Mill Race, starting from where it emerges onto the Lune near the Millennium Bridge. 

Lancaster residents and visitors are being invited to form a line along the route of the body of water that flows beneath the city centre.

Flow: Marking the Mill Race will take place on April 30 starting at 4pm and is part of a series of events to celebrate the Mill Race in Lancaster.

The Mill Race was once the lifeblood of Lancaster industry but today lies hidden beneath the city.

Participants will be asked to form a line along the route of the Mill Race, starting from where it emerges onto the Lune near the Millennium Bridge. 

The Mill Race also encompasses the north east area of the city centre including North Road, St Leonardgate and Lower Church Street.

Sounds and actions will be passed along the line reflecting the water running beneath and will be a chance to be involved in a unique artwork which reflects Lancaster’s character and its people.

The event itself will last around 15 minutes.

You will be given instructions about the sounds you need to make using your voice, hands and feet, but you won't be asked to sing! Anyone can take part.
