There are lots of lovely lesbians, delicious dykes and gorgeous gay women out there in Lancashire! – however there are few organised groups in Central and South Lancashire. But further afield there are more that Lancashire women can go to, particularly in Manchester. Check out the links below – this may not be a comprehensive list but these are what we think are the most useful and accessible for you.
