Events through the year that make an easy first or second date.
Winter
Clitheroe Castle in winter
The castle grounds stay open daily and free all winter, and the museum opens five afternoons a week until 14 February 2027. A crisp walk with a view, then a warm drink.

Late June to early July
Lytham Festival
Big outdoor concerts on Lytham Green over five nights, from 30 June to 4 July 2027. Better as a later date than a first one, so check prices and line-ups.

September onwards
Blackpool Illuminations
More than a million lights along the seafront, free to see, switched on in early September. A fun, easy evening date.
