A very warm welcome to Lancashire!
Official guide for short breaks, days out and places to see in Lancashire
Splashing around in rockpools, scrambling up hills to find the perfect picnic spot, eating a tower of scrummy ice cream, camping under the stars and exploring the surrounding forest on an adventure trail – summer can be so much fun!
And where better to spend your summer than in family friendly Lancashire. Embark on a countryside quest, seaside break or urban adventure, full of fantastic things to see and do. From being a zoo keeper for the day to riding the UK’s first ever double launch rollercoaster, exploring castle ruins to riding on Thomas the Tank Engine steam train and not forgetting our jam-packed schedule of summer events.
And it is easy to get here! Situated only an hour’s drive from Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester, and a two-hour train journey from London, Lancashire’s main transport hub of Preston, is not only a bustling city worth visiting but is the gateway to picturesque market towns, sandy beaches and impressive castles.
This summer the Winter Gardens Blackpool welcomes some of the UK’s biggest shows including the UK tours of Titanic The Musical, Summer Holiday, the hilarious Play That Goes Wrong and the 30th anniversary tour of hit musical Fame.
Summer is sorted with The 1823 Spinning Block at Holmes Mill’s 60/60 offer. Spend £60 or more in the Bar and Grill and get a room in the hotel from £60, decision made.
Use our handy summer guide to help inspire your next adventure.
