There are plenty of fun and exciting things to do in Lancashire, from the age old classics like Blackpool Tower, to a much more modern choice of adventure sports, art projects and great places for the whole family.

This list has been put together by popular searched results and user views – My personal favourite is the Modern Warfare Live Laser Combat located in Preston – If you haven’t tried this before, it feels like a more modern version of paint ball.
