I spent the first 20 years of my life living in Lancashire (I still speak the language) but I've never heard of Lancashire Day.

Well, now you have, bhg 😉.

It is to mark the day in 1295 on which representatives from Lancashire were sent to Parliament for the first time. Though the first 'Lancashire Day' wasn't held until 1996 - maybe why you'd never heard of it.

There we go then, Ken. 1966 when I moved away from Lancs.

Happy Lancs Day to all!  For me, especially to Lynne's family & friends 😊

Sounds like a good excuse for some Lancashire cheese.

Lancashire cheese is so expensive but love it, especially when it's toasted.

Happy Lancashire Day!

Tilly, yes, Lancs has some good cheeses.  Not all are expensive.  Morrison's pre-packed 'Crumbly' is much the same as others and really good toasted.  Now it gets dearer if you are looking at a Garstang Tasty or.... all sorts of others.  I used to buy some wonderful Lancs. Tasty on Skipton Market..... and I'm from Yorkshire!!!

Just to let everyone know the 1st of august trumps the 27th november.

Ignore my 1495 question - I've just found the answer on wiki.
