St Annes Cricket Club

Visiting this site in the summer months? Events including the Lytham music festival are held every July and the St Annes International Kite Festival is organised in August (both within a five-minute drive of the park). If you’re not here during these months, there’s still plenty to do in the local area: why not try rowing a boat on the saltwater Fairhaven Lake (10 minutes’ drive), birdwatching at the Ribble and Alt Estuaries (15 minutes) or having a little lope around the old-school Lytham Windmill? Closer activities include sessions on the green at St Annes Old Links Golf Club a few minutes’ walk away or at the Royal Lytham and St. Annes course (10 minutes’ drive). For traditional British seaside times instead, Blackpool is within 20 minutes’ drive (or 40 minutes by bus, with the bus stop half a mile away) for the lights, tower and amusement arcades; inland towns to visit include Preston, 35 minutes, to swing by the fine arts and archaeological artefacts at the Harris Museum & Art Gallery.
