It was great to see so many alumni on campus last year, either participating in our memorable 60th anniversary celebrations, visiting as part of a friendship group or with family members resharing tales of campus escapades.


Don’t forget if you want to revisit your old student haunts, Lancaster is an open campus and you can wander at leisure to find your favourite locations (which, of course, may or may not be still in the same place!) There is guest accommodation both on campus or at the hotel on site, places to eat and drink with a variety of international options and we now have a self- guided online tour to help you navigate your way round the ever expanding campus landscape!


Depending on availability we may be able to provide a guide for your trip down memory lane, so remember to contact us by email in advance just in case - alumni@lancaster.ac.uk


Whether it’s been five years or fifty, we look forward to seeing you again and hearing your stories of life after Lancaster.
