Lancashire Day social media campaign launched

Lancashire Day, celebrated on 27 November to mark the day in 1295 when King Edward I invited Lancashire’s first representatives to attend Parliament, is to get its own social media campaign.

To help raise awareness and encourage promotion of Lancashire Day across the UK, Marketing Lancashire has launched a social media campaign, inviting proud Lancastrians and visitors to share images that best illustrate the Visit Lancashire strap line #WhereLifeFeelsGood.

A panel of judges will then consider the final gallery and select a winner whose image captures the essence of our picturesque, life-enhancing and diverse county.

During Lancashire Day those uploading images or sharing messages using #LancashireDay and #WhereLifeFeelsGood, may be the lucky recipient of several spot prizes and surprises throughout the day.

Ruth Connor, chief executive of Marketing Lancashire said: “More people than ever are sharing their travel experiences or days-out through social media channels, making locations all over the world much more accessible. In 2013 we reached over 13 million people through our Lancashire Day activities and this year we would like to go even further. "There are so many wonderful places, life-enhancing activities, inspiring views and delicious things to enjoy in Lancashire; this campaign will provide the world with an insight into why life really does feel good in Lancashire and hopefully inspire more people to visit and experience our famous hospitality for themselves.”
