Lancashire Day is on Saturday, November 27.

The Friends of Real Lancashire are currently compiling their annual list of Lancashire Day activities from all over the County Palatine and beyond.

We would like to hear from any organisations or individuals who are planning an event on the day or during that week.

As well as showing loyalty to our red rose county,Lancashire Day is an opportunity to raise raise money for charity,remember a much loved Lancastrian and for businesses to promote Lancashire produce.

At the beginning of November events are posted on our website (www.forl.co.uk), details are sent to the Press and also to our members so they may support an event in their locality.

Events usually include Lancashire Day Proclamations, Lancashire nights with traditional hot pot or nibbles and entertainment, lunches, afternoon teas, shops with Lancashire produce, restaurants with a special menu, exhibitions, heritage walks, quiz nights and reading of Lancashire dialect.

Please email any events to chairman@forl.co.uk and include a contact telephone number.

Remember if you were born between the river Duddon in the North and the river Mersey in the South you are first and foremost a Lancastrian - no legislation has ever changed the traditional county boundaries.
