Lancaster by train - Saturday 6 December 2025

We’re looking forward to this one! Hoping for a great turn-out. Why not bring someone who hasn’t joined us on a social before?

The plan is to visit the 5 Town centre pubs that are in the latest Good Beer Guide, and also to take a peek at the North West Regional Club of the Year……the one that just nudged Dobcross Band and Social Club into Runner-up position.

Getting there.

Meet on the concourse around 11am for the 11:21 am train from Manchester Piccadilly. This is a direct service to Lancaster, arriving just short of an hour later. An Off-peak day return using a Railcard costs £15.85, allowing a choice of return times.

Suggested Itinerary.

Off the train and straight into Tite & Locke, the bar at the heart of the railway station.

10 minute, mostly flat walk, to Three Mariners

5 minute walk to Bobbin

10 minute walk to Gregsons Art & Community Centre (NW Region COTY)

5 minute walk to White Cross

25 minute walk to Wobbly Cobbler (Or a choice of buses from nearby stops)

30 minute walk back to Railway station (Or a choice of buses from nearby stops)
