The Borough is a bustling pub, restaurant and hotel spread over three floors of a Georgian townhouse at 3 Dalton Square in the centre of Lancaster. It is known first for food and drink - eight handpulls championing local independent breweries, a CAMRA award and a listing in the Michelin guide to eating out in pubs - while the current events calendar leans towards dining theatre and comedy rather than a regular live music programme. Performers should check current programming with the venue before pitching: manager@theboroughlancaster.co.uk or 01524 64170.
