Hey guys I'm a 29 m and I'm having some trouble with loneliness, so was wondering if there were any weekly social groups/clubs or similar things running in Lancaster? If so when and where?

Thanks

Hi everyone. I'll be in Lancaster for oen month. I've heard that Lancaster has some beautiful nature around it. Is there a group of hikers I can join for hikes around the area?

A few of my friends have seen the movie with me and thought it was great (and one of them is going to see it with me and a couple of mutual friends again) but none of them are familiar enough with it to be able to sing along to it.

So does anyone want to go with me to one? Coz like even though I think one of my friends might be up for going to it, I'd feel like a plum singing along to it with her not doing that.

My singing voice isn't amazing (it's a bit nasal) but I can sing in tune, and can sing the harmonies as well so we could be a great duo

When going out today there’s so many chavs around Lancaster, when walking pass two of them they just suddenly yell at me for no reason. I raised my voice back at them and punch one of them in the stomach as they are trying to corner me, and after the punch they ran aways and kept saying slurs. As an Asian student studying in Lancaster Uni I’ve also experienced a few weird experiences in town, usually when ppl get drunk and call me names but I don’t really mind to be honest. Today’s experience is probably the worst.

Visiting Lancaster/Morecambe over Christmas, and I've noticed that there are a disproportionately large number of speed cameras here within and around the city.

Perhaps, it's similar in other towns nearby as well, but I don't think I've been to any other towns in the south of England or Northern Ireland (places where I have lived) that have so many speed cameras!

Has there been an incident in the past which has caused this? Or has it always been like this?

…Since there’s more happiness in giving than receiving.

Is anybody experiencing a power cut this evening? 23.12.24 Bowerham area?

Visiting Morecambe, intensely craving Pizza and too tired to go out and sit in a restaurant, after a whole day of traveling.

What's the best takeaway Pizza Morecambe has to offer?

What are you doing this year? Experiencing a reluctant walk up Nicky Nook on boxing day? Staying in and glaring at the rain? Driving to the Lakes to find some snow? Or are you still trying to find a seat in the Teepee in town?

Where is the most festive Christmas Service? Best Sunday Roast you don't have to book in for?

Phone stealing scam in Lancaster

I was walking down Thurnham street at 1.30 AM just by the Auction Mart Car Park. A fat Eastern European man in a tracksuit with a hoody up asked me to borrow my phone to make a phone call because the credit on his flip phone has run out. I said “I left my phone at home sorry” and he said “oh okay” and walked off towards a white van parked in front of the barriers to get into the Auction Mart car park. He got in the left side and it drove off. I then went to Maccies and was sat on a stool at the table overlooking the high street ordering my food with my phone clearly visible. I look up and see the same guy on his flip phone making a call, and a teenager who I’m assuming drove the van gesticulating at my phone and laughing. The whole situation has made me giggle but I definitely took a different route home to the way they were walking 😂. Beware of this scam.

I will be in Lancaster for the month of January.

Where are the best places to study in town?

If there are any medical students. I am looking for a partner to practice OSCEs with.

Thank you in advance!

Moving to Lancaster soon. What are some of the safest neighbourhoods? I also have a dog, so any particular pet friendly neighbourhoods would be great too!

Hey everyone!

I just moved to Lancaster, for an exciting new job, and I’m on the lookout for friendly faces and fun activities! 🏙️✨

As a newcomer, I’m finding it a bit challenging to connect with people and discover all that this charming town has to offer. I love exploring new places, trying out local cafes, restaurants, and participating in sports and events, but I could really use some guidance.

If you're local or just looking to meet someone new, I’d love to grab a coffee, explore the city together, or even check out any hidden gems you recommend! Whether it’s a stroll around the park, a visit to a museum, or just hanging out, I’m eager to make new friends and create some great memories.

Let’s discover Lancaster together! Drop a comment or message me if you’re interested. Looking forward to hearing from you! Happy to share more info about myself 😊

Cheers!

Sweet and nommy

The Turkish places seem like they all do very similar hairstyles for younger lads and I definitely do not have that style. Don't need anything super fancy from a salon either. Just want a regular budget barber that can look at my current hairstyle and trim it to make it shorter without any fuss or a hefty charge. Any recommendations?

My daughter and I were discussing the best Lancaster pub for a date. The cheap pubs are very unromantic (Spoons, Crafty Scholar) and the romantic ones are very expensive (eg Merchants). Is there a pub in town which is reasonably cosy/intimate/romantic but won't break the bank?

I'm a uni student here and in first year I didn't really explore anything so I'm looking to explore more this year, I visited Ashton memorial and I went to the castle for light up lancaster but nothing other than that

Preferably scenic routes but just in general quieter places to run?

What’s with all the identical vape shops appearing in town? You can stand in the doorway of one and three others will be within eyesight. The newest ones are set out odd as well.

It went on for about 40 minutes

Our friend was attacked by a man completely unprovoked whilst he was walking home from the uni. Thankfully he is OK.

It has been reported to police.
