Thursday - Lancaster Music Festival

Age Range: All ages!

It’s that time of year again – Lancaster Music Festival is BACK!

Last year the Gregson was voted by YOU as the third best venue in all of Lancaster. That’s a tough act to follow – but we’re back with a bigger and more diverse set of fantastic musicians than ever before! In fact, we are the BUSIEST venue in the city – with 40+ free events!

To open the festival, we’re bringing you some dance workshops from Lancaster Lindy Circle and LPM Dance, a casual & cosy Folk Jam in our Cafe Bar, another edition of our Accessible Open Mic, and the legendary Lancaster Funk/Soul outfit The Groove Cutters.

See below for the full Thursday line-up, or click here to see the line-up for the entire weekend.
