Bring friends and family for a very special birthday party to celebrate 400 years of Lancaster's oldest Town House as we mark
Bring friends and family for a very special birthday party to celebrate 400 years of Lancaster's oldest Town House. You can meet the servants to find out more about life below stairs and enjoy some traditional games in the garden. There's live music to bring the House to life and you can let the kids get stuck in with some creative craft. Why not treat yourself to delicious homemade cake in the Friends pop up Victorian Tea Room. All ages welcome.
Plus it's part of Heritage Open Days so it's free entry Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th September.
