LLP Group Information

Lancaster Leisure Park has been welcoming groups for over 30 years and has a wealth of attractions for a full and varied day out. Set on the outskirts of Lancaster's historic city, this unique group day out is designed to appeal to all tastes and ages. Browse for hours at GB Antiques Centre, the North West's biggest indoor antiques and furniture centre, bag a bargain at the Original Factory Shop or get inspiration for your garden in the brand new garden centre.

Spread over 42 acres, the Leisure Park also boasts a quality tearoom and indoor children's soft play area. Close to the M6, with free and plentiful coach parking, a free meal and free admission to GB Antiques Centre for your driver, Lancaster Leisure Park is a popular attraction for group visits.

Whether you want a full afternoon outing or just an unusual coffee stop, we are always happy to welcome coach parties and groups, whatever the time of year. You can drop off your group in our coach park (close to the attractions), where Hayley, our Group Organiser will be waiting to welcome your party. All our attractions are wheelchair friendly with ramps where needed and very few steps.

The centrepiece of the park has to be GB Antiques and Furniture Centre, one of the North West's biggest and most loved antiques centres, attracting over 130,000 visitors every year. With over 140 individual dealers, each with their own specialities, GB Antiques Centre has an amazing choice and variety of wares. Whether you have a passion for paintings or porcelain, Deco or dolls, fine arts or furniture, you can really indulge yourself! Most importantly, the centre is all indoors so you can wander around, without any interference from the weather.

Allan Blackburn, the owner of the Park and a regular speaker on BBC Radio Lancashire, will be on hand to give a free talk about antiques and collectables to pre booked groups. You can even bring an old treasure along and he'll value as many as he can during your visit.

The latest attraction to the park is the Garden Centre. Having invested over £1 million last year, the garden centre now offers quality plants sourced from nurseries all over the North, as well as an extensive gift selection, beautiful paving, fencing, home wares, sheds and green houses. Spread over two acres, expert staff are on hand to answer any questions or to truly inspire you with gardening tips and ideas.

The Original Factory Shop offer thousands of bargains on homewares, bedding, kitchen ware as well as designer branded clothing and shoes. Set on one floor the factory shop offers unusual gifts like pottery, glass as well books and textiles.

After all that shopping, our newly refurbished tea room can easily seat a full coach party where up to 56 people can all be served at the same time. There's no need to pre-order, simply choose from our menu of light meals. Farmed locally, our Paninis, toasties and jacket potatoes, are completed by a wide selection of organic freshly ground coffee as well as loose leaf and organic teas. Our scrumptious cakes are all home made too.

Whether you're an enthusiastic collector, a bargain hunter or gardening enthusiast, a visit to Lancaster Leisure Park is a change to truly indulge yourself. Free coach and car parking. Admission to the park, Garden Centre and Factory Shop is free but there is a small charge for the antiques centre and children's play areas.
