Welcome to the Virtual-Lancaster Market place - with classified links to local businesses, and special features on local business and enterprise.

There's plenty of business directories available on the web, so we decided to focus on locally-based enterprises, companies and traders. artists, craftspeople, and artisans rather than the major high-street names and multinationals.

In response to demand, we have included a national section on green businesses and services for where there is no local alternative. We'd appreciate it if you'dlet us knowof any more.

Whether you're eating out, looking for property or accommodation, in need of a builder, searching for work or want to hire a band (Where's the party?!) you'll find our listings packed with the latest information on all things local!

It's regularly updated, so while we can't claim to cover everything - we're trying - we've aimed to include a broad spectrum of categories to help you locate the goods or services you require.
