Ulverston is an old-fashioned market town with a cobblestone central street. It has several unique stores, cafes, and bars serving good ale and hearty food. From five-star restaurants to cosy neighbourhood pubs, there is truly something for every taste. During the summer, Ulverston hosts a variety of festivals, from a flag-raising and walking festival to an art and music festival, and in late November, the town hosts the world-famous Dickensian Christmas celebration. You can get a sense of the fun and community spirit of the place where Stan Laurel was born and where the largest foam pie battle in history was held. Stunning views of Morecambe Bay and the southern Lake District may be seen from the many walking trails that surround the city.
