This weekend has seen the hottest day of 2023 so far, with the mercury topping out over 30C.
It's also a really busy weekend in Greater Manchester, with Parklife, Soccer Aid, and big-name gigs coming to the city-region. Invariably, it means it's really busy.
So if you're wanting to make the most of the sun but steer clear of the Greater Manchester crowds, a trip to a Lancashire seaside town might be your best bet. That's why, with the help of our sister newspaper Lancs Live, we have picked out five spots worth heading to this weekend.
