00:00Hi, I'm digital reporter Amy Seddon, and welcome to another edition of Five Things to Do Next Week.
00:07First up, in central Lancashire, Trolley Live is on between Friday, October 4th and Saturday, October 5th.
00:14Promising a weekend of live music and entertainment for all the family, the event, organised jointly by Trolley Council and the Creative Network,
00:22features 300 performances across 37 venues in Trolley.
00:26The format of Trolley Live sees performances at 7pm, 8pm, 9pm and 10pm in each venue, lasting 45 minutes with a 15 minute changeover.
00:37People will be able to come and go as they like in any of the venues across the two nights, as long as they have a wristband, which costs £5.
00:44Under 12s are free and don't need a wristband, but there are certain venues, due to their licences and conditions, that children won't be allowed into.
00:53Over on the Fowl's Coast, the UK's longest running and most popular retro games expo returns for its 14th year.
01:00Taking place between Saturday, October 5th and Sunday, October 6th, Play Expo Blackpool is on at North Olympia Exhibition Centre in Norbrook Castle Hotel.
01:11Organised by experienced video game event specialist, Replay Events, the show will be crammed with games, features, exhibitors and video gaming mayhem.
01:20With everything you love about gaming under one roof, organisers say the show will have something for everyone.
01:26Tickets are available online and cost £36 for the whole weekend for adults and £24 for under 16s.
01:33Single day tickets and family tickets are also available.
01:37Those with tickets can enter Play Expo Blackpool at 10am, whilst on the door arrivals can enter at 11am.
01:43The event then ends at 5pm each day.
01:47Up in North Lancashire, Odyssey Pro Wrestling returns to Morecambe with Panic Stations at Alhambra Live on Marine Road West on Saturday, October 5th.
01:57Odyssey Pro Wrestling says its mission is simple, to bring non-stop, action-packed, family-friendly entertainment to the shores of Morecambe.
02:05Alhambra Live also has a fully licensed bar with hot and cold snacks available.
02:10VIP tickets can only be purchased online and cost £15.50.
02:14They include a front row seat, early entry at 5.30pm and a pre-show meet and greet.
02:20Whilst general tickets, available online and on the door, are £10 and include standard entry time of 6pm and unassigned general seating.
02:30Over in East Lancashire, Scouting for Girls are on at King George's Hall in Blackburn on Friday, October 4th.
02:37The band's The Place We Used to Meet Tour Part 2 sees them play 31 shows across the UK and Ireland and comes following the release of their new album, The Places We Used to Meet.
02:48Scouting for Girls still consists of its founding members Roy Stride, Greg Churchhouse and Peter Ellard,
02:54who together have so far achieved four top ten singles, including the number one She's So Lovely,
03:00four top ten albums, two million sales, more than a billion streams, four Brit Awards and an Ivor novella.
03:07Limited tickets are still available, ranging from £31 to £37.50.
03:13Finally, just outside of Lancashire, a special Park Run event is taking place in Wigan on Saturday, October 5th.
03:20It's the 20th anniversary of Park Run and Park Run events around the world are holding their own celebrations.
03:26At Hay Woodland Park Run next weekend, people are being asked to wear their Park Run milestone t-shirts
03:32and make a sign to attach to them with their Park Run stats, such as how many Park Runs they've done,
03:37how many different locations and the number of times they've volunteered.
03:41Starting at 9am as usual, it is free to take part, but you need to register online first.
03:47So there are five top things to do next week.
03:50Put whatever you're up to. Have a good one.
