Lancaster is a fantastic town with two universities, plus colleges and schools. As a result numerous restaurants, shops, attractions and salons offer student discounts. You can get the Purple Card, the NUS card, plus several discounts unique to organisations or companies, such as our Mighty Card. There are also discount cards (listed at the end) available to anyone living in Lancaster - they’re totally worth getting, and are cheap or free. Just remember that most discounts can’t be stacked - they are provided on a ‘not in conjunction with any other offer’ basis.
