July events: Celebrate a cultural cocktail at the Lytham Festival

With an expansive sandy beach, Victorian Pier, historic windmill, a 'royal' golf course and stylish independent shops, the duel seaside towns of Lytham and St Annes provide the perfect summer setting for the new weeklong Lytham Festival. This diverse event includes music, live comedy, literature events, as well as the traditional last night at the proms concert on Lytham Green, this year featuring Elaine Paige and Marti Pellow singing songs from the stage and screen.

Enjoy five-star family accommodation at the nearby award winning Ribby Hall Village and don't miss the opportunity to rent one of the very chic St Annes Beach Huts for the day. The beach huts have amazing views across the sands and are a great experience for all ages, whatever the weather.
