Im 15 and a local to Lancaster and I need a job
Does anyone know anywhere that hires teens

For example:

Day to day life

- Which areas are actually nice to live in vs which ones look fine on a map but aren't

- Where locals actually shop vs where students end up by default

- Any hidden gems - cafes, parks, markets, cheap eats

Weather

- How bad does it actually get in winter

- Anything specific to Lancaster's weather that isn't obvious (wind, rain patterns, flooding etc)

Getting around

- Is cycling actually practical or is it hilly/dangerous

- Which bus routes are reliable and which aren't

- Anything about parking, roads, shortcuts

Cost of living

- Where do you actually save money on groceries

- What's surprisingly expensive vs surprisingly cheap

- Any local markets or discount spots worth knowing

- What mos t people get wrong when they first arrive

Anything else a newcomer would spend months figuring out on their own

Appreciate any responses, however small.

Did anyone get woken up today by the loudest thunder they’ve ever heard? I thought it was all over lol

just been captured twice by the street view car! funnily enough this isn’t even my first time being captured by it in lancaster. who knows maybe someone else on here has been captured?

Why when it’s busy do soo many drivers drive over the hatched lines by the hospital. I’ve seen so many close calls where someone has come off the roundabout and narrowly missed some lunatic flying up the wrong side of the road.

We hope Henry is found safe soon 🙏

Hi everyone, I’m new to Lancaster and looking for a local contractor who could fit a kitchen and floors. The kitchen company have their own option but I’d like to support local if possible!

It is a tough choice, given so many fantastic examples in Lancaster, but I am quite fond of Church Street and the one way street of doom.

Good Morning Lancastrians and Morecambonians.

Get yourself up and into town. Its northern warm and dry and the market is out. I couldnt ask to be anywhere better after 22 years on and off living here.

Fresh fruit purchased, awesome food smells pouring through. Fresh coffee in hand and off to the old bell cafe for breakfast. Iykyk. Castle and views from the priory on a day like today never get old.

Taking my daughter back to oopstayart cafe later just above the chinese supermarket (if you dont know go find out!)

Regardless if you have been here 5 seconds, years, or decades. Get yourself out and enjoy this amazing place!

Welcome your top saturday morning recommendations....

hey all, i know this is a very specific question but did anyone hear a deep rumbling sound at about 2:10pm in lancaster? it sounded like an aeroplane but i looked on flight radar as soon as i could but no planes flew over at that time. to be more specific the sound was between 2:07pm-2:09pm, it was particularly loud on dallas road as i was walking along. but obviously im assuming it could be heard elsewhere in lancaster.

Paulo ginis I think it’s called, I’ve heard the service is awful but the food is great, and my husband is half Italian so we want to try some Italian restaurants whilst we are in Lancaster.

Anyone that’s been please let me know your experience!

Which college is best for supportive internships between Lancaster & Morecambe, Kendal, Myerscough, Preston or Blackpool?

I was just looking on my Compare the Meerkat app at the rewards you get. I noticed that there are surprisingly few that are available within Lancaster.

We’ve got a Vue cinema, so I can use the weekly cinema discount.
We’ve also got a Caffè Nero, so there is a 25% off coffee and pastries I can use. Nice.
I can also get 50% off a Domino’s delivery too apparently - but I’ve not tried that.

After that it becomes disappointing for anyone who can’t get out of Lancaster easily.

I can get 25% off at Burger King and Pizza Hut, and slightly further afield there is Brewers Fayre on Caton road. There is also 50% off takeaway pizzas at Papa Johns and Pizza Hut… except these businesses have all closed their Lancaster branches.

Long drive back home down the M6 and still in awe of this.

Although it is just a motorway services, I wish it was treated as an attraction in its own right and better promoted as part of any visit to Lancaster. Still have vague memories as a kid going up with family to enjoy a burger and the views.

I know it's wishful thinking but really see the potential for it to be as well-known and iconic as Blackpool Tower or Angel of the North. What's held it back - planning permission, cost of fixing it, other complications?

Thank you for all the support every little helps it all means a lot to me, it’s taken a lot of effort to get here but I am really enjoying myself and can’t wait to see what the future holds

Hi

I'l put another post on here yesterday asking for advice on rental agencies in the area as we may rent our house out.

An alternative option is to list it with Airbnb. I understand this is higher risk in terms of people not respecting the property but with higher returns it's worth considering.

As we won't be staying locally ourselves in wanted to ask those with Airbnb experience locally who they use for cleaning/changeover/maintenance?

Thank you

Hi, we're planning to rent our Morecambe house out in the next few months and wanted to ask opinions on the best agency to do this with. It's not something we've done before so all opinions welcome. Someone suggested Entwistle Green?

Hi all, this is a bit of a random ask but here goes.

I’ve got a driving test booked at Heysham for the 1st of June 2026 at 8:40AM. This slot unfortunately conflicts with the start of my exam period :(

Would anyone in the area be willing to swap with my booking if you’ve got something in May. Even if it’s like the 28th of May you’d be an absolute saviour.

I have tried TestShift but thought I’d try here incase there’s better luck/success.

I’ve recently broke up with my long term boyfriend and I’m debating moving to Lancaster (commuting to Manchester for work 1/2 days a week via train).

Being newly single I’m worried I’ll feel isolated and there won’t be many people my age to make friends. I’ve seen there’s the Gregson Centre, which may help?!

Be great to get local insights 🙂

I am a 23 year old guy and live near to Lancaster and would really like to meet new people and make more friends. I would really appreciate it if anyone has any recommendations of clubs etc that are particularly popular with younger adults of a similar age to me? Also preferably where there is a mix of genders! TIA

Hi all! I'll move to Lancaster on April 1st, and soon after it will be Easter, so I am looking for something to do that weekend. Any events or suggestions?

For now my only idea is visiting the Lake District, but I would gladly do it another time if there's something nice in town

Expect wall-to-wall pop punk anthems all night long!

Green Day • Blink-182 • Sum 41 • All Time Low • MCR • Fall Out Boy • Yellowcard • The Offspring and loads more 🤘🖤

If you’re ready for big choruses, hands in the air, and shouting every word like it’s 2006 again, this one’s for you!!!
