From hidden heritage gems and family-friendly attractions to seaside strolls and cultural experiences, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Heritage Open Days returns in 2025 with thousands of free events across England, and Lancashire is no exception.
Visitors can uncover the stories behind historic buildings, wander gardens not usually open to the public or take part in immersive activities that bring local history to life.
Whether you’re a longtime resident or just visiting, this September is a chance to try something new, discover local landmarks and enjoy a mix of indoor and outdoor experiences before the autumn sets in.
