Our Location

The city of Lancaster enjoys a rich historical and cultural heritage, from the 12th Century castle, where the Pendle Witch trials took place, to Lancaster Priory and the Cathedral, where several of our public lectures and events are held. We are close to the Lake District and enjoy connections with the Wordsworth Trust, Grizedale Arts and Lancaster Literature Festival.
