THE MARKETPLACE
Eating and drinking should be fun, whether it’s a latte and a brownie, an artisan breakfast, or a pint of hand crafted ale – at the heart of everything should be love, and passion.
The Ellel Marketplace and Hotel epitomises these virtues, bringing together the very best food, drink and accommodation Lancashire has to offer, a modern temple to gastronomic indulgence. A unique platform allowing local producers to showcase their wares in a truly unique setting.
The market place is located at the gateway to the Lake District, nestled only four miles from the historic town of Lancaster, in an historic woodland, on the edge of the Lancaster Canal. Our award-winning architects have created a range of buildings that not only blend seamlessly with the surrounding countryside, but provide a functional environment for artisan and customer alike.
