Moving to Lancaster This September? Here’s How You Can Save Big on Your Student Room – CityBlock

If you’re heading to Lancaster University or University of Cumbria this September and haven’t sorted your accommodation yet, don’t panic. There’s still time to land a student room that doesn’t just tick the boxes but actually saves you money too.

This August, CityBlock Lancaster has launched two exclusive promotions that make moving in smarter, simpler, and more affordable.

Whether you’re looking to live near campus, switch from uni halls, or upgrade from a shared house, these limited time offers at Penny Street and Marton Street are designed to help you settle in without the stress.

💸 Offer 1: £500 Off at Penny Street

Let’s be honest, budgeting as a student is hard enough without rent taking a huge chunk each month. That’s where our Penny Street offer comes in.

Book a Superior Single Room at Penny Street this August and you’ll get £500 off your total annual rent. T&Cs apply.

You’ll still get all the perks we’re known for ensuite rooms, weekly cleaning, utility bills included, and superfast Wi-Fi — just with less financial pressure.

Located right in the heart of the city, Penny Street puts you minutes from main transport links, coffee shops, nightlife and the Lancaster University bus stop.

🚀 Offer 2: Free Upgrade at Marton Street

Prefer something a little quieter, but still central?

Marton Street is the hidden gem of Lancaster student accommodation — and this August, if you book a Standard Room, you’ll get a free upgrade to a Superior Room. T&Cs apply.

That’s right — more space, same price.

But it’s a limited offer. Once the Superior Rooms are gone, they’re gone.
