Another amazingly brilliant, funny pantomime at the Dukes. All the family had a fantastic evening watching this small troupe perform.

First time to see a band we've been watching for over 20 years. What a lovely place, great wide stage, bar at each end with orderly queues and good selection of drinks. Nice touch having some seating available. Well organised council run event place and will definitely look at gigs in future with plenty of places to stop over.
4. Morecambe Winter Gardens
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 126 reviews
Opened in 1897, this magnificent example of Victorian architecture stands proudly on Morecambe seafront. A Grade II* listed building, it has played host to many stars of stage and screen, including Laurence Olivier and has been the setting for both TV dramas and documentaries. The architects were the Manchester firm of Mangnall and Littlewood. Once you enter into the foyer you will see the grand marble staircases which once would have transported the paying customer to the upper level of the dress circle and also allowed them to enter the now long gone ballroom. In their heyday these buildings could have accommodated over 7000 people which included 2000 dancers. The theatre is operated and run by a Charitable Trust and volunteers who's sole aim is to restore the building and make it a usable space for generations to come. Theatre tours are available and can be booked online. Café & Bar.

Wandering around (socially distant) admiring building and all the renovation work that has been undertaken. Fantastic building and cant wait to return next year. Enjoyed a nice cuppa whilst taking it all in. We had hoped to visit earlier in the year but dont live local and our holiday was cancelled due to covid.

This was our 8th year watching the family Panto at the Lancaster Grand and it was fantastic. I absolutely love this gem of a theatre. The staff are super friendly and always happy to help. Ticket prices are very reasonable. There is a good range of drinks and snacks at very good prices. We have watched a range of shows from professional comedians to local talent. There really is a great mix of amazing shows to choose from.
6. Lancaster Comedy Club

Every Sunday 8pm, the finest comedians make their way to Lancaster Comedy Club. Over the years we have seen many brilliant comics including Gary Delaney, Ivan Brackenbury, Justin Moorhouse and John Bishop. Every week is a hilarious show. Why not make a night of it and done with us before the show? Complimentary bottle of wine when you order two main courses. All our show are fully seated, over 18's and acts are subject to change.

My partner and I have been about 10 times and invariably have a fantastic laugh and a good time. It’s priced spot on, the gig is pretty intimate and the show is always pretty relaxed with good MCs. We’ve seen an eclectic mix of acts from musical acts, acts with props, sophisticated humour to slapstick and crude but it never disappoints. As good as it gets a Sunday night....
