Elvis came, he sang and has now left the building.....

Saturday 12th July, was a complete success, as Elvis Presley performed Live in front of The Shireburn Arms Audience. Singing and dancing to all the well known tracks, Carl Miller AKA Elvis had the audience in the palm of his hands as he belted out "Hound Dog, Suspicious Minds and Jail House Rock plus many more.

Speaking with some of the diners on the evening, all were very impressed with the food and service and of course the entertainment. Many were asking for the next Tribute Night. Not to disappoint any of those requests, we are now busily organising the next Tribute Night. Possibly Elton John, Tina Turner or even the Abbarettes - You will just have to wait and see which celebrity will perform next at The Shireburn Arms Hotel.

A few pictures below of the Elvis Night.

DON'T MISS OUT ON THE NEXT TRIBUTE NIGHT.

History of The Shireburn Arms

The Shireburn Arms is a little corner of Old England for you to savour. When it began life in 1679 it was a farm with a series of outbuildings. Stonyhurst College, just one mile away is one of the finest buildings in Lancashire and all England, acclaimed even by Alec Clifton-Taylor. A Jesuit school of enviable reputation and responsible for the schooling of many influential authors, Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes), J.R Tolkien (Lord of the Rings), the seven Victoria Cross's and the setting of many period dramas and films.
In fact, the Shireburn Coat of Arms appears only in the College and in stained glass in the hotel.
This historic hotel itself comprises of three buildings which have been sensitively combined to provide a place of charm and character.

The "Sherburn" was sold by the Weld family in 1831 and then run as a hotel by Richard Parker. His daughter, a Dominican nun, inherited the "Sherburn" and it became a convent from 1856. It was then sold to Stonhurst College in 1866, who then owned it until 1975, and was run by various landlords as a hotel. On an interesting note, the wife of an earlier publican, Ralph Holden, was said to have murdered one of his relatives in 1834. However, she claimed that she "had only put the arsenic in the tea pot, he had chosen to drink the tea." She was hung at Lancaster Castle.
