Lytham

Things to do in Lytham 

Lytham Square and St Anne’s Square have a really similar charm - both are small, cute, and give you that cosy, village-like feel. They’re surrounded by independent cafés and restaurants serving all kinds of delicious food and drinks. Whether you’re craving fresh seafood or an indulgent milkshake, you’ll find it right there (check out our food and drink recommendations below!). You’ll also come across a small market, lovely boutiques, and all the everyday shops you might need.

Lytham Windmill sits on Lytham Green and was originally a tower mill used for grinding wheat and oats. It stopped commercial milling in 1921, and now the council opens it to the public during the summer. Inside, you’ll find a small museum that explores the history and craft of flour milling. Just along the Green is our favourite spot -  the jetty. On a sunny day, it’s the perfect place for a peaceful walk straight out toward the sea.

Lytham Hall, the finest Georgian house in Lancashire, has a rich and fascinating history. Visitors come to explore its beautiful rooms and impressive paintings. Set within 78 acres of parkland, the estate also features an Animal Hub for kids, home to rabbits, goats, and more, plus an outdoor theatre with shows and events running throughout the year.
