Student life in Lancaster
Taste your way through the vibrant local restaurant scene, take a short walk to university or jump on a bus to visit the iconic Lancaster city landmarks.
Lancaster is an exciting vibrant city
Lancaster is not just famous for its heritage city status, but for its international culture and fantastic student nightlife, so it’s the perfect location for culture vultures.
Annual highlights include the Highest Point Festival, top names at the legendary Lancaster Comedy Club, and open air theatre in the summer.
It’s a very compact and picturesque city, the famed Lancaster Castle is a short drive away or take a 20-minute trip to Clougha Pike and capture a famous Forest of Bowland sunset!
Lancaster isn’t called The Gateway to the Lakes for nothing - why not take a day trip by bus to the Lake District or take in some sea air at Morecambe Bay?
A short stroll to campus
Never miss a lecture when you live with us at Bailrigg Student Living.
You can easily walk to all parts of the Lancaster University campus, but one of the (many) perks of living with us is that you can get to Lancaster University “Health Innovation Campus” within 5-minutes.
If you don’t fancy popping into town after your lectures, Lancaster University campus provides everything you could need, from takeaways and bars to shops and hairdressers. All the essentials are a stones throw away from your student home at Bailrigg Student Living.
Everything you need and more!
For night owls, Lancaster has long been famous for its thriving student nightlife, especially “The Sugarhouse” nightclub in the city centre.
If you’re not a nightclub fan, Lancaster has a variety of evening activities, from traditional pubs and bars all the way through to raves, trendy cafes and restaurants, Lancaster is able to cater to your every need.
Two independent theatres and The Storey - a multi use creative hub and performing arts centre rounds up the cultural offerings in Lancaster.
