Wrong Crowd

Just going to answer a few questions we've been asked. 

Parking. There's loads, (a choice of 5 onsite car parks). Ignore the pay and display machines, parking charges only operate Monday to Friday 8am-6pm.

For anyone thinking of stopping over, there's a few options, (and it's Light Up Lancaster this weekend, so plenty of visuals and fireworks going on).

In Town:

The University of Cumbria, (where we are, not to be confused with Lancaster University) is offering single rooms on a dedicated Wrong Crowd corridor, (shared bathroom and catering facilities as far as we're aware because it's term time and the flats and en suites will be occupied). With booking fee through the website I think they are £28.50 each). These are almost right next door to the venue. Further info here https://www.universityrooms.com/en-GB/city/lancaster/college/waddellhall 

Within walking distance is the Lancaster Travelodge Central, (uphill there and downhill back. In terms of free parking, it's probably a case of parking near the venue up the road from the Travelodge). https://www.travelodge.co.uk/hotels/498/Lancaster-Central-hotel

A little further away from the venue, (2 miles maybe), but near the Castle and train station, (possibly with a bit of parking) is the Royal Kings Arms Hotel https://royalkingsarmshotel.co.uk/ 

The more expensive in town offerings are: 

All within walking distance from the venue if you like hills

The Borough Lancaster  https://www.theboroughlancaster.co.uk/hotel-rooms/

The Royal Hotel and Bar (this is opposite the police station, so behave!). https://www.theroyalhotelandbar.co.uk/

The Sun Hotel https://www.thesunhotelandbar.co.uk/our-hotel-lancaster/ 

The Crows Hotel https://www.crowshotel.co.uk/

Slightly outta town, (taxi or driving required):

Towards the north motorway junction is the Holiday Inn - (catch Murph and the Magictones):  https://www.hilancasterhotel.co.uk/

On the A6 and about 2 miles from the venue, Lancaster University let en-suite rooms with breakfast at what seem to be OK prices https://www.universityrooms.com/en-GB/city/lancaster/college/johncreedlancaster

The Morecambe Hotel has proved very popular with some that traveled to our old venue and there are a few staying there, so a good chance of taxi sharing in an 8 seater https://www.themorecambehotel.co.uk/rooms 

We'll add to this and have to be honest, I've never stayed in any of these places, but the best thing to do check out anywhere against the postcode of LA1 3JD to check how far it is from the venue. 

Count me in for this night as always.  Get to spend time with like minded souls looking for something different than the same old,  same old. Which is so refreshing.

Nice one Steve. Means a lot coming from you.

We've ordered a shedload of fireworks at 8pm to fly up from the Castle to light the venue up to get things going...  (although there will be a shedload of fireworks at 8pm flying up from the Castle to light the venue up  )

Always fireworks when Simon and Robbo are behind the wheels of steel.  Who needs bonfire night celebrations

He blew his chances when I went on after him at Beatherder years ago. On the plus side, his CD's didn't skip.
