Lancashire Year of The Coast 2023

ENGLAND’S YEAR OF THE COAST 2023

In 2023 England’s Coast is celebrating our island’s varied 185million year old coastline and the landmarks, events and activities that make it so unique.

With 137miles of coast Lancashire has always enjoyed the advantages and leisure opportunities of being so close to the seaside.  In Lancashire you’re never too far from a beautifully windswept beach and the abundant flora and fauna growing there, from traditional seaside fun and family days out, a walk or cycle ride with views at every turn, or a welcome drink or delicious locally sourced meal as you refuel and relax, watching the waves.

This year, Marketing Lancashire’s visitor-focused activity on Visit Lancashire will pay special attention to our wonderful and wild coastline, the events and experiences available through the seasons, and the fabulous food and drink that you can enjoy in cafe’s, bars, restaurants and hotels with a wonderful view.  You can read more on our dedicated webpages on VisitLancashire.com.

And don’t forget you can submit your coastal events FREE  to be promoted on VisitLancashire.com
