LANCASHIRE DAY

On 27 November the county celebrates Lancashire Day; marking the day in 1295 when the first representatives from Lancashire attended Parliament, as part of King Edward I Model Parliament.

It’s a day when we recognise and share the achievements of the county, its people and the culture that we cherish as Lancastrian.  It’s not a time to be shy or reserved, but a time to champion the difference we have made to the world and to the place that we so very proudly call home.

Ideas on how to get involved 

All businesses across Lancashire can get involved in Lancashire Day by:
