A night out

"快播视频, for a city of its size, has a really vibrant music scene - there is so much choice across a range of venues. The is also incredible for people who enjoy live music."

A place to eat out

“ and Mia Gelato in Morecambe. Delicious Italian food and homemade gelato. Excellent and friendly service. Good value. Easy to park nearby on the prom, and you can walk off your food afterwards on the prom with a lovely view of Morecambe Bay.”

Keeping fit

"The that are free of traffic! It's the best place I've ever lived for running (and walking and cycling), with the canal towpath, Fairfield Nature Reserve, the route alongside the River Lune, the path to Glasson Dock, and the prom at Morecambe all connected. That's miles and miles of lovely scenery and great paths in, through, and around the city. Perfect for any runners."

Luke, Communications

A cultural venue

"The brilliant thing about is the variety of its offering. I have seen Shakespeare, farces, comedians, physical theatre, family shows, ballet, and opera. The cinema is also brilliant and often shows new and old films outside of the mainstream. And, if you want to, they let you take a (plastic) glass of wine into the auditorium, which always feels very civilised."

Ali, History

Being part of the community

" is a community-run venue with a bar, food and more events, classes and clubs than I can list. Great for getting to know other people locally and also very cheap."

A day out

"Having on the doorstep! Stand-up paddleboard on the UK’s deepest lake (Wastwater), mountain bike down England's second-highest mountain (Helvellyn), and swim in the natural amphitheatre of Buttermere. Wash it all down with a meal and brew as the day draws to a close!"
