The Corn Exchange

Located on the corner of Lune Street in the heart of Preston city centre, Corn Exchange, formerly known as The Assembly, was the front of Preston public hall for many years. The building was granted listed status shortly after its closure at the end of the 1972 Preston Guild celebrations. The statue outside the building commemorates the scene of an ugly demonstration that took place at 10am on Saturday August 13, 1842, when five of the striking cotton workers were killed by soldiers. Corn Exchange is a hybrid venue operating over 2 floors, serving up great food by day and an amazing party atmosphere by night. Corn Exchange also caters for private functions and numerous other events. We are located just 5 minutes walk from both Preston Bus Station and the railway station, so have excellent access to local amenities. With hotels and shopping nearby you don’t need to look any further for a place to start or finish your day or night. We offer an inviting environment by day, serving good food in a relaxed atmosphere. By night it becomes one huge party with DJ’s playing everything from 60’s classics through to modern day mixes that will make your night go in a flash. We offer an unrivalled party atmosphere, from Student Nights to good old weekend parties we will not be beaten. When the warm weather arrives Corn Exchange boasts excellent outside areas with lots of seating at both the front and the back of the building. With external TV’s as well there is no need to miss out on either the sunny weather or your favourite sporting event. Corn Exchange has numerous screens showing LIVE sport and is a strong supporter of our local football team.

If you can’t see it on our screens it doesn’t mean we don’t show it – just ask and we will be happy to help.
