Is this heat getting you down? Rather be in the flurry of the festive season? Or just looking for a unique day out to enjoy during the summer holidays?

Keep reading to learn how to bring some wintertime magic to your next day out in Rossendale!


1.      First Up, Let’s Go Skiing!

Rossendale is blessed to have access to The Hill – formerly Ski Rossendale – a premier sporting venue complete with artificial slopes for skiing, boarding, tubing, and other fun-filled snow-related sport activities.

This incredible leisure venue is approaching its 50th birthday this year, and what better way to celebrate than with a spot of celebratory skiing? They offer everything from day passes to longer tuition courses, so anyone can experience a bit of winter sporting magic, regardless of your expertise. Check them out on their website here.



2.      Next Up… a Magical, Festive Escape Room!

Did you know the awesome Christmas escape room Claus for Concern is open year-round at Lucardo Rawtenstall? What better way to celebrate Christmas in Rossendale than a fun-filled festive escape room?


Yep, it may be July, but Santa and his elves are busy as ever preparing the toys for Christmas day. However, Elf Gristle has been quite the rebel, causing all sorts of mayhem in the North Pole to slow their hard work down. Do you think you have what it takes to help out the elves, and get Christmas back on track?


Claus for Concern is a fantastic escape room experience for teams of up to four players, ages seven plus. For more information and bookings, check out our website here!


3.      Time to Shop for Christmas Presents!


It’s never too early to start preparing for gift-giving season, and we actually think that summer is a fantastic time to get some of those presents ready!


Throughout the summer, there are countless fantastic artisanal craft fairs and makers markets held all across Lancashire, which make wonderful places to pick up unique gifts for loved ones. Have a look online or in local social media groups to find out what is going on where and when, and go have a look!


More regularly, Rawtenstall Market is an incredible place for finding quirky and unique gifts, all while supporting the fabulous small businesses our valley has to offer. It’s definitely a brilliant place to visit during any festive day out, no matter the season.




4.      Finish the Day with a Cosy Night In

After a busy day of festive adventures, it’d be so fun to fill your evening with the cheeriest of Christmassy comforts. We’re thinking a movie marathon, complete with cookies, gingerbread, and other wintertime snacks. Even if it’s too warm outside to brew up hot chocolates, you could always grab an iced chocolate milk instead!
