Accommodation required?
Would you like a campus tour? If you haven’t been for a while, you may not recognise the place and we may be able to provide a member of staff from the alumni team to show you around. The ideal size of group for this is no more than 8-10 and tours are subject to staff availability, though there are regular campus show rounds for prospective students on certain days and it may be possible tag along. Email alumni@lancaster.ac.uk
Alternatively, you may decide to have a wander unguided, in which case we have two great campus maps on this we page to help you navigate yourselves and a great self guided tour to help you recognise old haunts!
Trying to see your old department may be tricky either in or out of term time – and it may well not be where it used to be, but feel free to ask the question and we’ll see if it is feasible.
Want a pint in your campus bar? If you visit in term time it is likely to be open in the evening, but during vacations, Fylde is the only one regularly open. Please check our term dates to avoid disappointment.
Where do you want to eat/drink? You may want to find your favourite bar or restaurant in Lancaster, which may still be there. Check with our staff as we also like eating and drinking and may have some alternatives if your old favourite is no more.
Ideas for trips around the area? We may be able to assist with this or you may prefer to research at your leisure using visit Lancaster.
