Lytham Proms Festival Weekend is the biggest musical and cultural event in the town and indeed the wider area. The event is held on Lytham Green, next to the iconic windmill and was brought back in 2010 for a one night extravaganza by Cuffe & Taylor.

Saturday 3 August 2013

He’s known as ‘The Original Voice’, and has sold more than seven million albums worldwide. Now People’s Tenor Russell Watson is set to grace the Lytham Proms stage for 2013. In 2001, Russell’s debut album The Voice topped the UK Pop Charts. He will take to the stage with a 32 piece orchestra for his performance with special guests, Britains Got Talent Finalists Jonathan & Charlotte. The ‘Last Night of The Proms’ style concert – or as it has been affectionately dubbed by locals as ‘The Proms’- will be held on the Saturday night and Russell will take to the stage to perform alongside his special guest, and a 32 piece orchestra. Jonathan and Charlotte, the classical singing sensations who shot to fame in 2012’s Britain’s Got Talent, will delight the crowds on the Saturday evening alongside Russell. They performed in front of an audience of 14 million, and ultimately in front of Her Majesty the Queen, at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
