The British Geological Survey has confirmed that a magnitude 2.2 earthquake – at a depth of 3km – struck Silverdale at around 9.35pm on Saturday 5 June.

The organization said people reported the tremor as an “isolated noise like thunder.”

The quake was felt in Silverdale, Carnforth, Arnside, Milnthorpe, Burton-in-Kendall, Grange-over-Sands and surrounding villages.

Reports from residents included “We heard a loud noise” and “I thought the neighbor had locked the heavy door.”

Other people thought “the kids fell out of bed” and “the house shook, including some of the furniture.”

This latest seismic activity comes on the heels of two events that occurred earlier this year – one that occurred on May 13 and one that occurred on April 12. Both had a magnitude of 3 on the earthquake strength scale.

There were two more earthquakes at the end of 2025 – a 3.4 magnitude earthquake struck Silverdale on December 4, followed by a 2.5 magnitude earthquake on December 19.

The 3.4 magnitude earthquake was reported as the third strongest earthquake recorded in the UK in 2025.

The UK experiences around 100 earthquakes every year. An earthquake of magnitude 4 occurs approximately every two years, while an earthquake of magnitude 5 or greater occurs every 10 to 20 years.
