Garstang is a small historic market town in the borough of Wyre in Lancashire, England. Perched beside the River Wyre, it retains a cobbled market square and a sense of history from its medieval market origins, with independent shops, pubs and regular farmers' markets; the town also gained national attention for a community-led campaign to reduce single-use plastics.
The town sits amid rolling farmland and lies close to the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it popular with walkers and food-lovers seeking local produce. With an economy rooted in agriculture and small-scale industry and convenient road links to Preston and Lancaster, Garstang combines a rural feel with an active local calendar of markets and community events.
