About this event
The Open Championship returns to Royal Lytham & St Annes in Lancashire from 30 July to 6 August 2028. Lytham is a compact seaside town, and Championship week brings a crowd far larger than the local hotel base can hold. Golf Event Stays lists houses, apartments and larger private homes across Lytham St Annes, the Fylde coast, Preston and the wider Lancashire countryside for visitors and homeowners alike.
Royal Lytham & St Annes sits in a compact seaside town with a limited hotel base, so Open week spreads across Lytham, St Annes, Blackpool, Preston, Southport and the wider Fylde coast. Private houses and apartments give travelling groups the space, parking and self-catering flexibility that links golf weeks demand, and the rail line into Manchester keeps the area accessible for international visitors.
Homes within walking distance of the links are a small pool and let early. Properties inland and along the coast toward Blackpool and Southport stay available for longer, and larger group houses are usually committed at least a year out.
Open Championship crowds are among the largest in golf, and Lancashire coastal towns cannot absorb them in hotels alone, so private homes become the practical choice for groups.

Practical planning notes specific to Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club.
- Manchester Airport is roughly 75 minutes by road and is the main international gateway. Liverpool John Lennon is around an hour.
- The Blackpool South line runs through St Annes and Lytham with connections at Preston, so rail is a realistic daily option for guests staying inland.
- Local roads through Lytham are narrow and heavily restricted during Championship week, which makes off street parking genuinely valuable.
- Groups often take a country house in the Fylde or Ribble Valley 20 to 40 minutes out, gaining space and grounds at the cost of a short daily transfer.
List your home for The Open 2028 – Royal Lytham & St Annes
Open week fills the Fylde coast. Spectators, corporate groups, media and officials all need homes, and the town's hotel stock covers only part of that demand.
Suitable properties: Seaside apartments, family homes sleeping 4 to 8, and larger Lancashire houses sleeping 10 or more. Parking, modern bathrooms and fast broadband matter most to guests.
Choose a self managed listing and handle enquiries yourself, or the fully managed service where Golf Event Stays coordinates enquiries, contracts and logistics.

Answers specific to The Open 2028 – Royal Lytham & St Annes.
When is The Open 2028 at Royal Lytham?
Championship week runs from 30 July to 6 August 2028 at Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club in Lancashire, England.
Where should Open 2028 visitors stay?
Lytham St Annes is closest, followed by Blackpool, Kirkham, Wrea Green, Poulton le Fylde, Preston and Southport. The Ribble Valley suits larger country house bookings.
How far from Royal Lytham is reasonable?
Within 30 to 40 minutes is comfortable. Many groups deliberately stay inland for space and grounds and travel in each morning.
Are there large homes for groups?
Yes. Inland Lancashire and the Ribble Valley include substantial houses sleeping 10 to 16, and Lytham itself has larger period properties.
Can homeowners outside Lytham list?
Yes. Homes across the Fylde coast, Preston, Southport and the wider Lancashire area are all suitable for Championship week.
Does Golf Event Stays sell Open tickets?
No. We list independent private accommodation only and are not affiliated with The R&A, The Open or Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club.
