Weeton Barracks is a military installation at Weeton-with-Preese in Lancashire, England.

History

The barracks were established, using tented accommodation, as Weeton Camp in 1916 during the First World War.[1]

The Royal Air Force also used Weeton Camp, along with RAF Squires Gate and the army camp at Kirkham, for training purposes during the Second World War.[2] It continued to be used by the RAF, mainly for driver (MT) training, until 1965.[3]

The barracks were significantly enhanced in the early 1960s and became the home of 1st Battalion the Lancashire Fusiliers in 1965.[4] In 2011 it became the home of 2nd Battalion the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment after they returned from a three-year tour in Cyprus.[5] In 2021 the 2nd Battalion the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment moved to Elizabeth Barracks at Pirbright Camp.[6]

The barracks will become home to 1st Battalion, the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment in 2024, when it returns from being the Regional Standby Battalion in Episkopi.[7]
