Lancaster Day returns with expanded line-up of events for second year

Lancaster Castle

A celebration of the city of Lancaster and its heritage will return for a second year and bigger than before.

Two full days of events have been planned to mark Lancaster Day - on Thursday June 12 and Sunday June 15.

Organisers Lancaster BID (Business Improvement District) said: "On Thursday the 12th of June we’re focusing on all things history and heritage.

"On Sunday the 15th of June, we have lots of city entertainment, vintage games and more.

"With tours, talks, entertainment, live music, history, dancing, Pye Motors exhibitions, and more, you won’t want to miss either day!

"Thank you so much to Pye Motors for being our sponsor of this celebration. We’d also like to thank St Nicholas Arcades and Lancaster City Council for their support."

The first ever Lancaster Day took place last year - see photos below.

It was held on June 12 to mark the anniversary of the signing of the city's first charter on June 12 1193.

On the day, the original charter was showcased in Lancaster City Museum, alongside a day of entertainment for the community.

The line-up for this year's event can be found below.

On both days, you can celebrate Lancaster Day by joining a walking tour discovering the history of some of Lancaster's most historic pubs.

Your ticket includes the chance to stop off and sample a drink or two along the way at: The Sun, Bier and Twist, Stonewell Tap and The Golden Lion.

Award-winning Blue Badge Guide, Gregory Wright, will guide you on this afternoon stroll around Lancaster, exploring the history of some of the city's oldest public houses and breweries.

Gregory will be certain to share an amazing array of historical facts surrounding some of the oldest bars in our fantastic city.

As this event includes alcohol, tickets are strictly for people age 18 or older.
