  • Adults-only pop-up site on a farm a 15-minute drive from Preston
  • Blackpool 25 minutes’ drive; Forest of Bowland 40 minutes
  • Seasonal entertainment; rotating food vendors; communal fridge
If you’re of a certain age (let’s say if you were around in the 1990s), the word ‘Hacienda’ conjures up memories of cool music and hedonistic dance parties. While Hacienda Events Campsite is unrelated to that scene, it does share a similar ethos, with seasonal events, live bands and DJ nights livening things up for the guests. And since nobody wants to party with their offspring in tow, this pop-up site is blissfully child-free. Sitting on the outskirts of Lea (10 minutes’ drive), a satellite village of Preston (15 minutes), in Lancashire, the site belongs to a farm with a huge tree-lined field, a pond, bridleways and expansive rural views. However, chances are you’re not here for the peace and quiet of the countryside, but to have a ball with your mates – to that end, it’s worth keeping an eye on the Hacienda’s social media channels so you can time your stay with your preferred form of entertainment, whether themed parties, band nights and beer or food festivals. Both beer and food are big deals here, with a pop-up bar and tap room, and a roster of pop-up vendors serving delicious dishes, plus great coffee and a breakfast service. If you’d rather cook your own meals, stock up on provisions in Lea (there’s a communal fridge for storage) and light up the barbecue. Those who need to clear their head after a night of music and merriment can take a long walk along the Lancaster Canal (less than half a mile away) or the River Ribble. For longer, more challenging hikes, head to the Forest of Bowland National Landscape (40 minutes).

Local attractions

Blackpool (25 minutes’ drive) is famed as a party town, so you can keep the jollity going. There are thrill rides at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, and views of the Irish Sea (and as far as the Lake District) from the top of the Blackpool Tower. ‘Strictly’ fans might like to have a spin on the dancefloor of the ornately decorated Blackpool Tower Ballroom. Lancaster (35 minutes) is known for a well-preserved hilltop fortress dating from the early 12th century. Learn all about the history of the city at the Lancaster City Museum, then head to the banks of the River Lune to visit the Lancaster Maritime Museum, with seafaring artefacts. For a quiet day at the seaside, head to Southport Beach (45 minutes), with its vast expanse of sand and the long, leggy Southport Pier stretching into the water. Just south of the main beach, the Birkdale Dunes are a nature reserve dotted with wildflowers.
