What's On

Lancashire has so many events and festivals and is surprisingly easy to get to. Here you'll discover a huge variety of events, from music extravaganzas to festivals of light, from scarecrow festivals to arts events - you'll find that there are not enough hours in the day!

Looking for ideas for your next short break? In this section you'll find information on a huge variety of attractions to visit activities and, watch or participate in. Whatever time of year you come to Lancashire, there’s sure to be something on that you’ll enjoy!

After all the excitement of the various local and national events and celebrations last year, in 2013 we are continuing the ‘feel-good’ legacy by promoting all the things that makes life feel good in Lancashire.

There’s a variety of festivals – from food and drink to music and arts – as well as the quirky events that Lancashire is famous for, such as tractor pulling and gravy wrestling! For those of you who like to enjoy the great outdoors we are celebrating special anniversaries of walking festivals or why not get on your bike and explore our great countryside using pedal-power!
