Preston

Discover Preston for a day out that offers something different each time you visit, whether you’re here for a few hours or making a full weekend of it. At the heart of the city is a strong sense of history, from its famous Guild celebrations to landmarks like the newly renovated Harris Museum and Art Gallery, which now hosts a year-round programme of exhibitions, events and workshops. Along Fishergate, you’ll find a mix of high street favourites and independent shops, with Preston Markets offering fresh local produce and a wide choice of food and drink.

When you’re ready to step away from the busy streets, green spaces such as Winckley Square, Avenham and Miller Parks provide a change of pace right in the city centre, with riverside views and cafés to enjoy along the way. For those wanting to explore further, the Guild Wheel offers a 21-mile circular route linking the city to places like Brockholes Nature Reserve. With activities ranging from indoor attractions to live music, theatre and a growing food scene—including well-regarded restaurants—Preston continues into the evening with plenty of options to round off the day.
