As a celebration of its rich cultural diversity and vibrant atmosphere, May’s Bank Holiday welcomes PrestFest to Lancashire’s newest city, Preston. With a nightlife that caters for all ages, tastes and budgets, Preston’s city centre draws in people from all walks of life. Add to that a whole host of theatres, eateries, pubs, comedy clubs, and its quite clear to see that Preston is a city full of options, variety, and ultimately well worth visiting.

It is Preston’s distinct multiformity that PrestFest seeks to commemorate between May 3rd - 5th.

Being one of a prestigious few cities in the country that has had the honour of winning the Purple Flag standard, which celebrates the City Centre's achievement in creating and maintaining both a safe and fun nightlife, Preston has become a popular night time destination for people from all across the country.

With one of the friendliest atmospheres around, Preston’s very own festival is setting up to be something really special.

106 events are getting involved in the fun and festivities in the city this May Bank Holiday, leaving us so much to see and do. With a smorgasbord of offers, discounts, special events, gigs, competitions, and social activities in store, the inauguration of PrestFest is looking to be one of the most exciting things to happen in the city for some time.

Don’t miss out out on all the fun this Bank Holiday!
