Lancaster 25/02/2026

Climb aboard as we explore the delights of Lancaster and uncover the ancient stories of this small-but-perfectly-formed city. 

It’s Market Day in Lancaster so if you love discovering bargains on a Market Stall then this is the day for you. As well as the Charter Market there are all your high street favourites alongside quirky boutiques, cafes and tearooms. The aroma of coffee permeates the air and you are sure to be tempted by the delicious array of homemade cakes, or locally brewed ales to sample and purchase. 

There is so much more to discover here - Lancaster Castle is a must.

Standing proudly within the heart of the city, it has played its part in so many of our nation’s stories including the Wars of the Roses, the Pendle Witches and a prison housing some notorious characters. You might also enjoy the Judges Lodgings House, a museum of Regency and Victorian times where you will feel like to have stepped into the pages of a Jane Austen novel. If you are searching for something more outdoors, why not explore the secret trails of Williamson Park to discover it’s hidden follies and stunning Edwardian Butterfly House.  

Come and discover Lancaster - a small city with a big heart!
