DJs will raise funds to help a charity for young people with a 10 hour marathon of music in Lancaster.
Lancashire Youth Challenge (LYC)’s Youth Council will host 'Live Your Best Life' - a 10-hour DJ Marathon at Moor Space, The Dukes, on Tuesday July 28 starting at 10am - as part of the charity's 10th anniversary.
This family friendly event is a fundraiser for LYC, a local charity who support young people aged 11 to 25 to overcome adversity, build resilience and discover their potential though active movement, outdoor adventure, creative practice and nature-based learning.
Money raised through the event will go directly towards supporting LYC’s multi-day summer cycle expedition ‘Highway to Hull’ - giving local young people the opportunity to experience a sense of achievement, belonging and personal growth.
Members of the LYC Youth Council visited Beyond Radio to talk about the DJ marathon.

DJs of all ages will be playing for 10 hours non-stop during the day and there will be a wide range of genres including drum and bass, pop, dance, rock, house, rave, disco and lots more.
The event will feature performances from up-and-coming young DJs, an exclusive vinyl set from the Dukes Prime Time group, a morning chill out set will come from DJ Murphy and feature a yoga session, and the headline DJ will be Beyond Radio's own Ginny Koppenhol (below) from the monthly Higher State dance music show.
As well as the music, there will be a chill-out zone, food, drinks, art activities and other creative things to do.
And people who fancy having a go at DJing are welcome to come along!
All ages welcome.
