The people of Burnley and beyond can now glide into Christmas after the town’s very own synthetic Ice Rink opened to the public on Saturday (17^th December).

Getting out and about in nature is one of the best ways to rejuvenate, especially after the busy festive season, and Lancashire is the perfect place to explore.

The week between all the excitement of Christmas and the sparkle of the New Year can sometimes feel a little lack lustre, especially when you’re on your third day of turkey, but have no fear! Lancashire has plenty to explore over the twixmas gap to keep the boredom away.
