First dates in Lancashire
TLDR
Start with coffee and a short walk in Preston's Avenham and Miller Parks. Choose The Dukes in Lancaster for an indoor meet-up, or The Hole In Wand in Blackpool for a playful icebreaker. Keep the first plan to about an hour. Add food or a longer stroll if you both fancy it.
