Southport Invites All to Celebrate Lancashire Day with Traditional Dishes and Delights

Lancashire Day 2024 is on Wednesday,November 27.

  The Friends of Real Lancashire will shortly be compiling their annual list of Lancashire Day activities from all over the County Palatine and beyond.

 We would like to hear from any organisations or individuals who are planning an event on the day (or during that week).

 As well as showing loyalty to our red rose county, Lancashire Day is an ideal opportunity to raise money for charity, remember a much loved Lancastrian and for businesses to promote Lancashire produce.

 At the beginning of November events are posted on our website (www.forl.co.uk), details are sent to the Press and also to our members so they may support an event in their locality.

 Events usually include Lancashire Day Proclamations including the Loyal Toast to King Charles 111, The Duke of Lancaster, Lancashire nights with traditional hot pot, scouse, cheeses with nibbles and entertainment, lunches, Lancashire hampers, afternoon teas, shops with Lancashire produce, restaurants with a special menu, exhibitions, heritage walks, Lancashire quiz nights, and reading of Lancashire dialect, 

Following the tragic event in Southport on July 29 this is an opportunity to arrange a charity event to remember and raise funds for those closely involved on the day or thereafter.

 Remember if you were born between the river Duddon in the North and the river Mersey in the South you are first and foremost a Lancastrian- no legislation has ever changed the traditional county boundaries.

  Please email any events to [email protected] and provide a contact telephone number.
