About Ulverston

  • Stan Laurel, the British half of the legendary comedy duo Laurel and Hardy, was born in Ulverston on 16 June 1890. The Laurel and Hardy Museum on Upper Brook Street is the only museum in the world dedicated to the pair and contains the world's largest collection of Laurel and Hardy memorabilia.
  • The Hoad Monument on the hill above Ulverston is a 100-foot replica of the Eddystone Lighthouse, built in 1850 to commemorate Sir John Barrow, a native of Ulverston who became Second Secretary to the Admiralty and a founder of the Royal Geographical Society.
  • Ulverston's Dickensian Christmas Festival, held annually in late November, transforms the town centre into a Victorian street scene with costumed characters, lantern processions, and market stalls — attracting over 40,000 visitors and making it one of the largest Christmas festivals in the North of England.
