What is the Preston Pub Festival?
When a group of like-minded pub/bar owners got together and discussed how we could promote our venues, the Preston Pub Festival was born. We all run very different, diverse venues, from traditional pubs to micro pubs to brewery taps, but all have one thing in common: the love of the product we sell. This festival is to promote what a great pub scene Preston has and the great variety of beers and ciders on offer. All the venues are within a 15-minute walk of the town centre with great transport links.
What can I expect?
Think along the lines of a beer festival, but rather than being stuck in one place, you’ll get to experience the hospitality from several different venues. There’ll be a huge range of different beers and ciders on offer, and each venue will have its own special USP. It could be live music, a tap takeover, food offerings or quite simply just a fantastic range of beers and ciders.
I'm gluten-free/designated driver/don't like beer, can I still come?
Absolutely you can. All the venues will offer alcohol-free options and several will also offer gluten-free free. For those who don’t like beer, now is your chance to try something new, as you will not find a more diverse range of beers. We’re sure you’ll find something to tickle your taste buds, but if not, then there’ll be a wide range of wines and spirits available too.
Can my furry friend and kids come?
Most venues are dog-friendly and family-friendly, but please check with each venue before visiting.
How do I find the venues if I'm not from Preston?
No problem, we have a map available on the contact page at prestonpubfestival.com, plus each venue will be more than happy to point you in the right direction and offer any help or advice.
I want to make a weekend out of it. Are there any hotels locally?
We’ve got your back there. No. 10 is a great boutique hotel right in the heart of the city. There are also plenty of budget-friendly hotels in the city centre, from Holiday Inn, Premier Inn and Travel Lodge. The choices are huge.
I'm just coming for the day. How do I get there?
Trains – Lots of trains pass through Preston, and The Vic (one of the festival venues) is directly outside the station, so a great place to start.
Bus – The iconic Preston bus station is centrally located within the city and offers lots of services across the North West. The added bonus is that the Guild Ale House is a 2-minute walk.
Let’s make the weekend great, come on your own (you won’t be lonely), organise with friends or work colleagues, but just make sure you’re part of it. This may be the first Preston Pub Festival, but with your support, it won’t be the last.
