Customers visiting the Royal Station Hotel will be able to access a wide range of services including financial reviews, balance requests, open new accounts and have support with digital banking.
As the hotel is a cashless site, everyday banking transactions will need to be completed at the local Post Office.
Carnforth mayor Coun Christopher Smith said: “I am delighted to be opening the new community-based Barclays hub and am very pleased that the bank is maintaining local support for customers in Carnforth and surrounding areas.

"The town council will now work with Barclays to ensure that the change is communicated as widely as possible.”
