Dalton Square, Lancaster LA1 1PJ, UK Directions

Since 1909

Speciality:

✓ Wedding Ceremony ✓ Meetings ✓ Historic Sites ✓ Exhibitions ✓ Conferences ✓ Events ✓ Private Functions

“Lancaster Town Hall is a Grade II listed building. Lord Ashton opened Lancaster Town Hall in Dalton Square on the 27th of December, 1909. The project took three years to build, and engaged Lancaster furniture manufacturers Waring and Gillow as the main contractors for the stonework, furniture and wood carvings. F.W. Pomeroy undertook the stone carving over the front steps, and local firm Shrigley and Hunt made the stained glass windows. Lancaster Town Hall houses many significant historical artefacts, one of which is the Waring and Gillow table. The local area is a lovely place to walk.

2025 Update: Lancaster City Council provides services to around 140,000 people living in the Lancaster district. From birthday celebrations to weddings, meetings, exhibitions and recitals, they have a plethora of beautifully appointed spaces for hire to accommodate your event.”

LANCASTER CASTLE REVIEWS

Today, I finally visited Lancaster Castle for the first time with my family , despite living in Lancaster. The tour was fantastic, largely thanks to Simon, our guide, who was engaging and extremely knowledgeable. We explored the old prison wings, including the women’s prison, and the historic courtrooms where the Pendle Witch Trials took place. Simon’s storytelling really brought the castle’s history to life. Afterward, we had the unexpected treat of watching Alan Ward, a stone sculptor, carve intricate head sculptures. It wasn’t part of the tour, but it was amazing to see such skill in action. Overall, a brilliant experience—highly recommended!

Extraordinary site in continual use castle,prison, law courts and still functioning as legal centre. A must see. For those with mobility issues this is not one for you. Cobbles and very little accesible on the ground floor. The escorted guide only suitable for able bodied with ancient stairs, and there's a lot of them..

Very interesting place, home to a castle, a prison, police museum and still working civil and criminal courts. Whole family found it fascinating and price is very reasonable for the tour. Staff are great Would highly recommend.

ASHTON MEMORIAL REVIEWS

Iconic memorial which I've always wanted to visit after several years of seeing it from the Motorway. It certainly did not disappoint up close and really did take your breath away. Very photogenic as well and someone was actually having their wedding here at the time of our visit. Amazing views across to Morecambe from the top as well.

Beautiful place. We got married here and visited again last weekend. Would highly recommend for a wedding venue or as a day out with family. It's situated in a wonderful park with a great playground for children. If you haven't been, go!

Magnificent building, beautiful architecture. Wonderful view of sea and Lake District mountains.
