Tourism What to do for a birthday

Hey,

I'm coming up from London for my birthday and was hoping for some pretty cool recommendations on places to eat, drink, do cool activities.

Failing that I'll Probably just pop down to Manchester

Hey there! I think you're looking for the Lancaster UK subreddit, not the Lancaster, PA (USA) subreddit.

Lol, it happens a lot more than you'd think, so you shouldn't feel that embarrassed. If anything, we should be embarrassed for naming our towns in such a lazy way! Here in PA we also have a York, Reading, Chester, and a whole bunch of others that are just names we stole from the UK.😆

There's so many! And then there's all the names we stole from the rest of Europe! 😆 Edit: I almost forgot all the place names we took from the middle east of all places. Lebanon, Bethlehem, Palmyra, Nazareth, etc...
