The eagerly awaited return of the North Lancs Expo is here! Showcasing the best of business across North Lancashire, the high profile Expo is back, for one day only in a brand new location!

Celebrating 125 years of supporting businesses across North Lancashire in 2022, Lancaster & District Chamber of Commerce will host the North Lancs Expo at Lancaster & Morecambe College on Friday 30 September.

The North Lancashire Business Expo is a unique event which sees businesses and visitors collide on a platform to showcase our amazing North Lancashire.  A business showcase which brings stakeholders in the region together for a day of discovery and connection, with exhibitors, stands and talks. 

North Lancashire is an amazing place. It has unique locations, warm, friendly people and a rich, growing business community. We believe that it deserves a gateway to allow people and organisations to discover all of that in one place… to get a taste of why North Lancashire is important. Now and in the future.
