Preston is a vibrant and exciting city, rich in history, culture and attractions, nestled in beautiful open countryside and in the heart of the county of Lancashire. The city’s history dates back to the Doomsday Book with the granting of its charter, which gave the right to hold a Guild Merchant every twenty years with the next Preston Guild in 2012.

The buzzing activity in the city centre is linked to a broad and eclectic mix of shops, bars, café bars, pubs, restaurants and theatres. The Market Square
in front of the Harris Museum and Art Gallery, a Grade I listed building, hosts a number of events and activities throughout the year.

Preston boasts a mixture of modern and old. The Harris Museum and Art Gallery, the old Flag Market Square, decorative Victorian covered markets  and imposing architecture dominate the city centre reminding us of Preston's opulent past whilst the University Of Central Lancashire and its new iconic buildings providing studious accommodation for 35,000 students annually
are a testament to Preston's future development and vision as the regions
third city.
