Beyond Radio 10 for 10: The Big Lancaster Spring Clean

Beyond Bear and the team will be once again helping to keep the city tidy as part of Lancaster's Big Spring Clean 2026.

Our presenters will be out and about on a litter pick in the city on Wednesday March 25 alongside partners including Lancaster BID (Business Improvement District).

The clean-up coincides with Keep Britain Tidy's Great British Spring Clean campaign this month.

The BID Zone Big Clean Day is on March 25 from 10am to 2pm, and Lancaster BID is calling on local businesses to join in a collective clean-up of areas of Lancaster city. 

The BID team will provide the litter pickers, bags and gloves and just need you to lend a hand.

Email info@lancasterbid.org if your staff could have time to get involved.

Plus, enjoy some fun street theatre in Lancaster with the Flower Pot Men from 11am to 3pm.
