Blackburn Cathedral is one of England's newest cathedrals, yet it is one of the country's oldest places of Christian worship. For many centuries, this has been the Parish Church of Blackburn dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin. It continues as a place of prayer and worship and is now at the centre of the Diocese which takes in almost the whole of Lancashire.

Well this was a surprise, a lovely cathedral that seemed to combine the old and modern, it was bright and airy, possibly my favourite cathedral for the design. The people there were very welcoming and friendly, even the bishop stopped to chat. Excellent.

Great day out at Mrs Dowsons farm! Fantastic staff, very welcoming! Always check we are having a good day and offer support with any questions we have and you can tell they really do care about the animals also about the people that are visiting the farm. Animals are great there, cared for really really well! The kids love handling them and feeding them, it's made them much more confident around animals now! We have been to a lot of farms around the area but this is by the far the best! We just keep going back this year. The Christmas experience at the farm was also fantastic!

this is a great stadium for what is a town club, a club that belongs in the premier league, as one of the few that have won it, all very professional, and the corporate area is top league too.

I come her to watch the Blackburn Hawks and love how great the atmosphere is. I think we are very fortunate to have an Ice Rink and an Ice Hockey team in the town and going to watch the Hawks is a great opportunity for couples and families. It’s a great sport to watch too as it’s very fast and physical.
