New Year is a time for a fresh start for many, and what better way to celebrate than with a break in Lancashire’s beautiful countryside?

How many times did you hear the phase “It’s like Blackpool Illuminations in here!” when you were younger and had left the lights on all round the house? Well, winter is the best time to really see those illuminations shine.

We’re blessed with so many incredible things to do across Lancashire, but the newly expanded Woodland Spa in Burnley is the jewel in the East Lancashire crown.

This week sees the start of the annual Heritage Open Days, bringing together over 2,500 organisations across 5,000 events manned by 40,000 volunteers nationwide.

There's so much going on in Lancashire this weekend including the return of the iconic Blackpool illuminations and the popular Vintage by the Sea. Take a look at the list below for some more exciting events, but for even more ideas check out our events guide here.

August bank holiday is just around the corner and there's lots to do and see in Lancashire, including a range of exciting events which will be taking place all over the county.

The weekend will be here again before we know it and there's so many exciting events taking place across our county including plenty of family friendly events as well as the return of the fantastic Nestival at Brindle Distillery.

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.

One thing Lancashire is well known for is its historic houses, with castles, manor houses and stately homes now open to the public as wedding venues, restaurants, museums, art galleries and more.

The first of the two long weekends in May is upon us, and Lancashire has so much to offer to visitors and residents alike.
