Wrea Green: Village Green, The Dub and Field Day

When planning a hotel stay in Wrea Green, your interests may determine your travel dates: the countryside, architectural history, the annual Field Day or activities at the flower farm each offer a different focus. The village green and The Dub give you specific places to explore, while other features add architecture, events and dining. If you are deciding between staying for a particular event and travelling without a specific occasion in mind, the Field Day and farm activities are especially worth considering.

Village Green, The Dub and walks

Wrea Green’s village green is the largest in Lancashire. A pond known locally as The Dub lies right next to it. Wrea Green also offers opportunities for walks through the countryside. This distinction can help with your planning: the village green and The Dub are specific local landmarks, while walks let you explore the surrounding countryside. You can consider whether you would rather explore a named place or also set aside time for walks.

Architectural history and architecture

Wrea Green is one of the ten designated Conservation Areas in the Borough of Fylde. The Church of St Nicholas in Ribby-with-Wrea was built in 1848–1849; its spire-topped tower dates from 1884. These dates refer to different parts of the building: the construction of the church and the later-dated tower with its spire. The church is built in the Early English style from sandstone rubble and has a blue slate roof. Alongside its construction date, its style, masonry and roof are distinct architectural features. If you are interested in architectural history, you can distinguish these details of its timeline and construction.

Events and flower farm activities

Flora & Fauna offers workshops and events at Spring Field Farm, Moss Side Lane, Wrea Green. The Wrea Green flower farm also offers farm tours and open days. Dates and availability can vary; check ahead before travelling if you plan to visit. The Wrea Green Field Day takes place every year in late June or early July. Unlike the variable farm dates, it has a recurring seasonal time frame. If you want an event to determine your travel dates, it is worth checking the specific date in advance.

Seasonal cuisine

The Villa Wrea Green’s dining offering includes a seasonal menu featuring local produce. Its seasonal focus and locally sourced products provide two different points to consider when choosing: they describe both the connection to the time of year and the origin of the produce used. Menus may change. Check the current selection if this offering is important to your travel plans.
