Blog (Things To Do) - Visit Lancashire

It’s Pride Month, and as a county, Lancashire is ready to celebrate.

Pride Month takes place each June due to the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots which took place in New York, 55 years ago. The events and parades that take place to celebrate Pride are open to all LGBTQ+ community members and their allies as a celebration of love, acceptance and solidarity.

Home to the Kings Castle of the North, Lancaster has had a strong royal connection for centuries. So what better way to celebrate the recent royal visit from King Charles III than with a stroll around this beautiful historic city.

This week marks Mental Health Awareness Week with this year’s theme being community. As humans, we thrive when we have strong connections with other people and supportive communities that remind us, we are not alone.

There’s something wonderful about a trip to the beach in summer. Feeling the soft warm sand between your toes, the smell of the fresh sea air, and the taste of delicious ice cream, especially if you can bring your four-legged friend along too.
