Lancashire Council launches local museum pass

A museum pass created by Lancashire County Council will offer visitors a year of unlimited access to local attractions.

The Xplorer pass, available for £20, entitles two adults and two concessions entry to five council-owned museums.

The initiative begins as four participating museums, Judges’ Lodgings, Queens Street Mill, Gawthorpe Hall and Helmshore Mills, prepare to open for the first time after pandemic enforced closures.

Councillor Peter Buckley said the council wants to do everything it can to support local heritage.

“We think the Xplorer pass represents great value. It will allow families to enjoy more for less, and when the cost of living is going up, that can only be a good thing.”
