In its present form, Club Day has been around for 117 years; time spanning two centuries. It has witnessed many changes yet still managed to survive. In this day and age when there are few things in which the whole community get involved it is nice to see Club Day standing the test of time.

The town is closed to traffic from 8:30am through to 12:30pm (approx.) for children and adults to roam the streets in fancy dress and the town is alive with the hustle and bustle of tableaux, decorated cycles, horses, local traders, bands and of course Lytham Rose Queen & Visiting Queens from the Fylde.

Club Day is for old and young alike, with Punch & Judy shows staged throughout the day and a feast of Morris Dancers performing all over town there is something for everyone.

A parade of Vintage cars heads the main procession, Lytham Rose Queen makes a short stop at the cenotaph laying a wreath in remembrance of the dead from the two World Wars. The streets are lined with spectators and the sound of applause and cheers can be heard above the ooohs and aaahs when bands and floats pass by. The procession disperses at about 12:30pm but the day is far from over. 1pm - Cubbin's fair opens, 1.30pm - Afternoon entertainment gets underway at Lowther Gardens, where the Crowning of the Rose Queen, the Mammoth Draw, the Tomes Trophy for Visiting Queens and the presentation of the trophies to the winning classes all takes place, among other exciting entertainment.

As you will probably have seen in the local press there will not be any evening entertainment this year, the formal Club Day festivities will end after the entertainment at Lowther.
