With a cosy coffee culture, quirky high street shops, museums, live theatre, and a vibrant nightlife there’s so much to discover.
The Lancaster campus is well-served by public transport, with buses stopping frequently at the stops near the campus entrance.
As well as major high-street retailers, Lancaster offers a wide range of specialist independent shops, including comic book stores, tabletop gaming venues, and vintage clothing boutiques.
Students can also take advantage of generous discounts, with many restaurants, and shops offering reductions of 10–20%.
Additional savings on activities such as cinema tickets, bowling, and skate parks make Lancaster an affordable and student-friendly city.
If you want to experience the hustle and bustle of a larger city from time to time, there is easy access to Liverpool or Manchester. Plus, London is only 2.5 hours away by train.
