We’ve picked out some of our highlights for this year for you

East Lancashire Railway

The Railway’s past is inextricably linked to that of the area's industry. The railway provided industries with a vital link to the country’s network of import, export, raw materials and, most importantly, workers. Even in those utilitarian times however, the East Lancashire Railway provided a leisure-time service for holidaying workers. Today, the East Lancashire Railway is one of Lancashire's top family attractions, hosting events all through the year.

Bacup's Stubbylee Park

The Park has many recreational areas including a Football Pitch, a Dementia Garden, 3 Tennis Courts and 2 well maintained Bowling Greens

The Stubbylee Fairy Dell is a surprising element which is a short walk meandering by a stream from the duck pond through lush trees and ferns down a series of steps into the dell itself.

There is also a Children’s Playground with lots of equipment and an Outdoor Gym, where you can exercise to the sound of sheep bleating on the moors beyond and last but by no means least, there is Stubbylee Hall, standing proudly in the centre of the Park as a reminder of the History of Bacup in the 19th century.
