A special event is to be held to celebrate the military heritage of the Lancaster Campus of University of Cumbria.

The University of Cumbria will be unveiling their new Military History Panels at the Lancaster campus as part of remembrance weekend.

The installation celebrates and preserves the rich military heritage of the site, which served as Bowerham Barracks and home to the King's Own Royal Regiment before becoming an educational institution.

The panels have been developed to recognise the campus's historic significance and its enduring connection with veterans, military organisations and the wider community. 

The event takes place on Saturday, November 7, at St Martin's Chapel on Bowerham Road, from 2:30pm.

Guests will see the unveiling of the military history panels, and there will be a blessing and dedication before a guided tour highlighting the campus's military heritage, celebrating its continuing place within the local community.

Military guests are asked to wear service dress with leathers and medals with no swords, while civilian guests are asked to attend in smart business attire.
