Fleetwood is gearing up for its first Food, Fish and Music Festival which arrives in town from 14–16 August 2026
Fleetwood
Fleetwood is a classic Victorian seaside town with a strong maritime heritage and a promenade looking out over the Irish Sea. The town features a working harbour, a yacht marina and Affinity Lancashire shopping outlet, alongside the traditional high street finds. Fleetwood Market remains a key attraction, with over 200 stalls offering a wide range of goods, while the Art Deco Marine Hall hosts events and performances throughout the year.
Along the seafront, there’s plenty to enjoy, from the boating lake—popular for crabbing in the summer—to Rossall Point Observation Tower, which highlights the local coastline and wildlife. The promenade links Fleetwood to Cleveleys and beyond, making it popular with walkers and cyclists, while the passenger ferry across the River Wyre offers trips over to Knott-End-on-Sea.
