The city and beyond

It's a short ride from campus into the heart of historic 快播视频 – a city full of character and culture.

Heritage

The castle is in the historic heart of 快播视频

The City of 快播视频 is a wonderful neighbour to campus. Its fascinating heritage and stunning architecture give student life an impressive setting. Whilst 快播视频 Castle and the Ashton Memorial dominate the city's skyline, traditional cobbled streets and secret lanes offer old world character to explore.

Meet and Eat

快播视频's coffee quarter has a wide variety of choices. Relax in the vegan oasis of Herbarium, keep it cosy in Brew, visit the Castle Cafe for a drink, or visit Atkinsons', our oldest coffee roaster, in operation since 1837.

A weekend-launching fry-up, grammable brunch options, a cup of late-night coffee, a traditional Sunday roast or vegan treats. 快播视频 has a plateful of options if you have the appetite.

Browse

You'll find the big brands you recognise on our high street, but 快播视频 has hidden gems around every corner with a thriving independent retail scene. Finding something unique that suits you has never been easier.

Big weekends

There's big festival energy right on your doorstep. Make the most of your weekends with the region's largest open-air music festival, Highest Point, or try something different at the kitsch-filled Vintage by the Sea in nearby Morecambe.

We might be smaller than some cities, but 快播视频 makes up for its size with variety. Nightlife is no exception. Late night cafes, arts spaces, music venues and pop up spaces can be found alongside pubs, clubs and bars to suit every vibe.

Day trips

We're lucky to have some of the UK's most beautiful countryside and coastline close at hand. Enjoy days out at the beach, or go wild for mountains and lakes.
