Brookside Stuns at Ecofest 2025

The unveiling of the plans for Brookside caused a stir at EcoFest 2025, with hundreds of attendees stopping by to meet the project team, discuss the plans for the site, and even try out our very own VIRTUAL REALITY EXPERIENCE. Even the Mayor of Hyndburn, Cllr Josh Allen, couldn't resist donning a VR headset and enjoying a virtual tour of Brookside from the comfort of his chair.

Feedback from the event was overwhelmingly positive, with almost all survey respondents indicating that they would like to get more involved in the project.

A huge thank you to Jamie from LandScan for providing such incredible technology, to our wonderful volunteers for manning the stall, and to everyone who joined us in the town centre.
