A county of stunning coastline, rich countryside and canals that cut through historic cities and industrial towns, Lancashire is a place of unique contrasts and credibility. It is home to the UK’s first mass leisure resort as well as its oldest continual festival. It originated the Spinning Jenny in the nineteenth century and the jet engine in the twentieth century, and, where once the industrial spirit and passion of its people brought cotton and textiles to the world, they now attract international renown for their research into new and emerging technologies and Michelin stars and awards for their world class food and drink. We are incredibly proud of Lancashire’s culture. As a sector, culture and the arts attract over £7 million investment from ACE, augmenting the £34 million County Council and Local Authority combined total spend on culture.
