Venues

Once again multiple venues and organisations and dozens of local and out of town bands will be celebrating Lancaster's great musical talent and diversity to provide a wide variety of music, along with industry showcases and workshops.

The venues are within easy walking distance of each other and are located mostly in the city centre. There are plenty of accommodation options, as well as places to eat and drink in Lancaster, and the festival is very centrally located.

Wherever possible the music will be powered using sustainable means.
