Hi All, My friend has got a job in Royal Lancaster Infirmary (single mother with an 8 yrs old). What's the best area nearer to hospital to live? She doesn't drive. Doesn't mind 5-10 mins drive or 10-15 mins walk. A safer area and close to the hospital considering she's a single mother. Thank you!

Hey all, there's a petition for a safe cycle route between Lancaster Uni and the city centre. It would be a great way to improve transport independence for young people (not just students) with a free form of transport in the south of the city, and reduce traffic on the local roads. The A6 has been named one of the most dangerous roads in the country. With this petition we can save lives and make Lancaster a better place for everyone. Please share it with others.

Thank you, and have a nice day : )

Hi all. One of the things I love in life is having a drink outdoors by a river/canal, just watching things go by. Can you fine folk suggest some pubs and restaurants in Lancaster for doing this?

Also, side question, which are some good pubs for watching live sport? That question applies for all of Lancaster, not just pubs by rivers/canals.

Hey all,

Stumbled across this sub and noticed a few posts asking people for ideas on what to do around Lanny.

I'm a local lass and I run an Axe Throwing venue situated within Kanteena. We run public sessions on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. It's high-energy fun and great stress relief! We also host birthdays/hen or stag dos/corporate team building sessions, and can take groups of 20-25 at a time.

You can book at www.blackaxethrowing.com or email me at lancaster@blackaxethrowing.com to reserve a place. We also do group discounts and throw out discount codes on our socials (Facebook and Instagram).

Just something that could interest some people visiting 😁 you can also check out our reviews at tripadvisor, Facebook and Google. (I'm very proud of them) There are also some videos I posted in r/axethrowing if anyone would like to see for themselves.

Hopefully see you down the range 👋

I have been searching for a room to rent for 6 months, but I was informed that the minimum tenancy is 11 months, so they can't accommodate me. It's strange that they would pass up business in the hope of finding someone who will commit to 11 months.

What's your favorite reading spots in town (inside and outside)? Looking for some nice spots when it's warm(ish) and dry(ish) outside.

Visiting Lancaster on something loosly like a “war of the roses” themed travel. Never been to lovely Lancaster before, any suggestions on where to go? Things we just can’t miss? (Doesn’t have to be war of the roses themed) Thanks all

Hej all,

Recently moved from Germany to Lancaster. I'm really fond of the outdoors, especially mountain biking (and a bit of hiking). In Germany, I could access great spots easily by either train or carsharing.

How do people in Lancaster do it with bikes? Buses to the Lake District (and others) don't allow bikes, trains are spotty and run infrequently and are (at best) unreliable. Is there a better way, like car- and ridesharing?

Hello everyone!

Christmas is just around the corner and I was thinking about a present for my boyfriend, a Lancastrian. We both live abroad and he hasn't been home for years, so I was wondering if I could find something that brings home a little closer to him. Oh! And any ideas for Christmas dishes (or dishes from Lancaster, in general) would also be great 😃

Thank you in advance!

And Merry Christmas!

Hi all,

My name is Lana Bojanić and I am a research assistant and PhD candidate at the National Confidential Inquiry into Suicide and Safety in Mental Health (NCISH) at the University of Manchester.

As a part of my doctoral research under the supervision of Dr Isabelle Hunt, I am conducting a study on people with suicidal thoughts/behaviours who use the internet in the UK.

This study aims to recruit people in contact with mental health services to share their experiences with suicidality and the internet and provide insight into how the two interact and create potential risks and benefits.

I believe that the experiences of people in contact with mental health services are necessary to obtain an accurate picture of the clinical and internet environment they are in.

Please consider sharing your experiences in this survey if you are eligible using this link https://www.qualtrics.manchester.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_86yZjYSqTMzS086. Also, it would be of great help if you would share this link with your network.

Participation is entirely voluntary and anonymous and takes approximately 15 minutes.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi I recently moved here for uni and tried to get on a bus but was told by some people next to me that it was only for students or something and now I'm just unsure whether one bus is for everyone or just students etc and my google pay also never worked on the one bus I took, idk if this was cuz it doesn't allow it or because it was just not working at the time. So yeah if anyone could explain it please that would help alot.

Hi all,

I am a student of the IB Diploma. I am writing an academic research paper for the Extended Essay in Economics, where I am attempting to analyze the impact of the recently imposed National Living Wage on employees in the UK.

The survey set requires people working in the UK. Ideally, it would be nice to get responses from minimum wage workers aged 25 and above, however, any/ all responses will be extremely helpful.

I request workers in the UK to please help me by participating in this survey and answer some very simple questions in the link attached.

Also,I will be extremely grateful if you can help circulate this survey to your known acquaintances in the UK.

Keeping in mind the privacy aspect, please note that this survey is and will remain completely anonymous, nor will the data be reproduced anywhere. This survey, once again is for my course research purposes only and not for any other intention or purpose.

This is the link to my survey:

Hello All,

I recently got a job offer in Lancaster and need help with understanding some things, mainly in the finances and accommodations department.

Just curious as to the cost of living and such in the area. How much am I expecting to spend roughly with groceries and food, entertainment (gym memberships, movies, etc etc.), public transport and such? Also, I'm looking to rent an apartment (preferably solo but am open to renting in a shared space) and was curious how much of my salary should I be putting into housing? And what sorts of fees are associated with housing? I saw some things about council taxes and such.

ANY help would be appreciated as this has suddenly become quite overwhelming. Thanks!!

Any good books partly or fully taking place in the area? Thank you for any insight.
