Visit Lancashire in Autumn
The leaves are turning gold and the days are getting shorter, so pop on your boots and coat and head into Lancashire this autumn.
Enjoy long walks and crackling log fires, dark skies full of stars and delicious locally produced meals. Go pumpkin picking, take a relaxing spa break or hibernate for a weekend in a cosy cottage. Soak up the season’s slower pace and make the most of Lancashire’s stunning countryside and welcoming places to stay.
You’ll find plenty of things to do to celebrate Halloween, October Half Term, Bonfire Night, as well as lots of other fantastic events including the world-famous Blackpool Illuminations.
Take your pick of Lancashire this autumn.
