The Chapel Yard workshop unit is situated in a sheltered courtyard setting by the Castle's Medieval Keep. The Castle is within easy access of Lancaster's City centre, its shops and facilities and public transport links. It is close to Lancaster's main railway station allowing access to the west coast mainline. The small, creative and vibrant community at the Castle includes an embroidery workshop, stone sculptor, University teaching space, and Atkinson's Castle Café. The Castle attracts considerable visitors for tours including access to the Shire Hall Courts and the Police Museum. In the summer months footfall can exceed 1,000 a day.
