Lancaster Priory

Offering a unique and interesting interior, there is much to see inside the building. Lancaster Priory is a church where the voices of all are regularly lifted in prayer and praise focused on God in worship. Our annual Priory Festival in September, most of which is free to attend, celebrates our Patron Saint, the Blessed Virgin Mary. These events take place amongst the ongoing worshipping life of the Priory, showcased in Festival Sundays and Evensongs. The Priory music department’s gift is one of drawing together a wide range of singers of all ages and abilities.
