Until 2011 parts of Lancaster Castle were still used as a category C prison, and it is in this very area that over the weekend of the Friday 23 – Sunday 25 May that the ‘A-Wing’ dance party will take place.
An intimate capacity, two floor venue will be taken over by DJs known the world over. Equipped throughout with a Funktion-1 sound system, A-Wing promises more than your usual nightlife experience. Relatively untouched since the departure of the final inmate A-Wing will be an experience not be missed in what we know to be to be the only venue like it in the world.
A-Wing Organiser Chris Glaba ‘We’re very proud to bring to the great city of Lancaster a whole host of DJs who have rocked festivals and clubs around the world. This venue is unique and this is the first time anything like this has taken place in the Prison so we aim to put on a weekend of parties that will be etched in history. Tickets are very limited so we advise to buy as soon as you can’
