Happy Lancashire Day!
Lancashire Day allows us the opportunity to declare that we are proud to be Lancastrians.
The Lancashire Day proclamation will be read out by town criers throughout the county on 27th November. And many Lancashire towns will be holding Lancashire Day events to mark the celebrations.
Lancashire Day commemorates the day in 1295 when Lancashire sent its first representatives to Parliament by King Edward I of England to attend what later became known as The Model Parliament.
Lancashire Day was first observed in 1996 with the loyal toast to "The Queen, Duke of Lancaster", and is open to celebration from everywhere within the county. Many towns throughout the historic county host events on the day, most notably readings of the Lancashire Day Proclamation.
