Our brewery and micro pub is located in a converted stables building, which dates back to the 18th century. Our intimate and quirky bar is located on the first floor above an Apple repair shop. Our brewery is capable of brewing around 140 litres of beer each brew. This is very small by most breweries standards but we like that. It gives us the flexibility to brew small batches of different beers and experiment more then larger breweries. We have 10 craft keg taps and 2 cask beers. As well as our own beers we have an extensive range of craft beers from artisan brewers. We often have beers from the likes of Cloudwater, Wylam, Northern Monk, Verdant, North to name but a few. For those who prefer other drinks we sell quality red and white wines, craft gins, soft drinks, gluten free beer and alcohol free beer.
Each time we visited the Accidental we wound up in a great conversation with other patrons, or with Michael and Michelle, the highly personable owners. It's the kind of pub that brings people together if they wish to be, but doesn't intrude if they prefer a quiet evening. And then there's the beer! We had just spent two weeks in Belgium where we tested several offerings, but we preferred the Accidental's "Wishing It Would Rain" over all of them all for taste, freshness, and everything else that matters. If a well-balanced, hoppy ale isn't to your liking, there is a wide range of other choices on tap. And lastly, the room just feels good to be in. No music or TV sets blaring, just a chance to relax, perhaps chat with those nearby, and enjoy some top-quality examples of the brewer's art. If you're just visiting Lancaster, as we were, Accidental will prepare cans of whichever of their products you wish to take away. We highly recommended this micro pub!

Owned by the serving monarch, HM Queen Elizabeth II, through the Duchy of Lancaster, Lancaster Castle is a wealth of English history. Since being established by the Romans the castle has been a home to monarchs, a place of trial and execution, and a working prison right up until 2012. Still a crown court, the majority of the castle is now open to the public for the first time in over 1,000 years. Due to COVID-19 restrictions and ongoing restoration work in the Shire Hall guided tours have been suspended until January 2021. The courtyards are open and free to visit but there is no access to any of the buildings at the moment. The cafe is open between 10.00 am and 5.00 pm daily.
Highly reccommend the guided tour as although I'm a bit of a history fan theres always loads more to learn especially here as it was and still is an active crown court within a castle and has a prison too. What's not to like

Please keep this stunning part of England a secret. It is the most gorgeous place - small villages and rolling countryside in one instance then broody hills and windy fella the next.

The Dukes is an award winning producing theatre. We run rich theatre, film, art and education programmes. We are the home of the nationally renowned Williamson Park Walkabout Theatre show which has had over 500,000 visitors over the last 30 years.
Another amazingly brilliant, funny pantomime at the Dukes. All the family had a fantastic evening watching this small troupe perform.

Lancaster brewery is a multi-award-winning brewer of beautiful beers, born and brewed in the north west of England. The company has four popular beers that form its core range - Lancaster Blonde, Amber, Red and Black and also produces monthly specials and seasonal beers from our purpose built brewery. We do brewing properly. No fuss, no shortcuts, just proper old fashioned brewing using freshly milled malt, whole-leaf hops and live yeast that, combined with our expertise, produces some of the best beer in the country. Our brewery is open as a tap house for people to come and enjoy a pint, and we offer tours of our brewing process too (which you can buy online from our website as a gift voucher for the beer fan in your life). The brewery is also available to hire as a venue for weddings, parties and events - it is a fantastic venue for a big bash for 50- 400 people within walking distance of Lancaster town centre.
We booked in here for the brewery tour.Which included 3.pints or 6 halves of beer and a pie and pickle lunch.The tour was very interesting and well presented by Reuben.Well worth a visit.

Have cruised this canal a few times now, twice with The Duck Island Boat Company. First time 6 years ago was aboard Picollo, a luxurious widebeam boat for 2. Second time was on Legato, again luxurious but this time a narrowboat that accomodated ourselves, friends and our wee dog Jack. Eamonn and Elaine are a lovely couple who welcome you and see you on your way safely. The canal is lovely, Garstang to Tewitfield is our favourite stretch. So much beauty, so many lovely places, lovely friendly welcome everywhere and lovely restaurants all over the place...so much food and too few days to try it all! I would highly recommend this laidback holiday to everyone and would most definitely recommend Eamonn and Elains Duck Island Boat Company as they are the best we have been on! (and thats been a fair few over the years). Go for it folks, you won't regret it!

This was our 8th year watching the family Panto at the Lancaster Grand and it was fantastic. I absolutely love this gem of a theatre. The staff are super friendly and always happy to help. Ticket prices are very reasonable. There is a good range of drinks and snacks at very good prices. We have watched a range of shows from professional comedians to local talent. There really is a great mix of amazing shows to choose from.
