From live music to Alpaca walking, archaeology festivals to maize mazes, you can find it all in Lancashire this weekend!
Burnley
Nestled in the heart of Pennine Lancashire, Burnley offers a rich mix of heritage, culture and open countryside. Towneley Hall Art Gallery & Museum is a standout attraction, set within a historic parkland estate and home to fascinating collections, period rooms and beautiful gardens. Nearby, the Weavers’ Triangle brings the town’s industrial past to life, with canalside walks and heritage spaces that tell the story of Burnley’s textile history.
For those looking to head outdoors, Burnley is surrounded by impressive landscapes, with the Singing Ringing Tree offering panoramic views across the moors and Towneley Park providing plenty of space for walking, cycling and family days out. Independent cafés, local shops, growing programme of events and a destination spa add to the town’s appeal, making Burnley a great base for exploring this part of Lancashire.
