News

Lancaster Tourist Information Centre and Tourism Service are currently planning our move into the newly refurbished Storey Creative Industries Centre. We're very excited to be a part of this project and can't wait to see the finished product! We're looking forward to being located in such a beautiful heritage building yet our new Visitor Information Centre will use modern display and interpretation to showcase the surrounding areas of Lancaster, Morecambe and the Lune Valley and the further districts across Lancashire.
Here are some comments from our colleagues...their memories, impressions and hopes for the building.....
  • "I used to enjoy the peace and quiet of the Storey garden and orchard in the summer months, where I could go at lunch time to eat my sandwiches in the sun. I`m looking forward to doing that again."
  • "I love the look of the outside of the building and can't wait to see what the inside is like!"
  • "I used to visit the Storey Gallery regularly - it showed an interesting range of art and artists."
  • "In 1982/83 I went there a couple of days a week as part of my BTEC National Diploma Course I was doing with Lancaster and Morecambe College. The memories of the building are somewhat hazy with being so long ago. Also I occasionally visited the Tasting Garden next to the Storey on my lunch hours while working at the town hall, which was a haven of peace and tranquility."
  • "Living and working in Morecambe I had never been into the Storey before. I'm now interested to see what it has to offer."

Don't forget to come and visit us in our new home where we will be offering all our traditional services including accommodation bookings, travel and transport information, plus a great new range of printed information and contemporary merchandise!
