Lancashire (North) branch
Welcome to the Lancashire (North) branch of The Western Front Association
Meetings are usually held on the first Monday in the Month. When the Monday is a Bank Holiday then we move the meeting to the Tuesday.
The doors open at 7pm with the talk starting promptly at 7.30pm.
We now have two daytime meetings in February and November with the next meeting on Tuesday 3 February 2026 at The Storey, Lancaster with doors opening at 11am.
The talks are about one hour long with time for a Q&A session. The meeting finishes with tea/coffee and biscuits with time to chat to the speaker and other attendees.
The branch aims to cover many different aspects of the Great War.
Entrance donations of £5.00 are invited and this includes an entry into the raffle. The prizes are a bottle of wine and several books on the Great War.
Members and non-members of The Western Front Association are equally welcome. Any new visitors are guaranteed a friendly atmosphere and a warm welcome from a group of like-minded enthusiasts.
