What to do in Preston
A former industrial town, Preston today is graced with a number of beautiful green spaces and historic buildings that take you back in time, making it a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle, while still within close proximity to a number of high street shops, places to eat and other modern facilities.
The Harris Museum and Art Gallery, a Grade 1 listed building filled with fine and contemporary art, fashion, ceramics and more. Their MakerSpace also runs a series of workshops throughout the year if you fancy creating something yourself or try a hand at something techy.
Bowland Wild Boar Park is a fantastic place to go for animal and nature lovers. Wander through the rural countryside and keep a lookout for wild boar and a number of other animals wandering the park. The park has a number of picturesque wildlife walks and picnic areas as well as a cafe serving homemade food.
Preston Markets offer a great variety of traditional foods and local produce, as well as a number of goods for those who are looking for gifts or just something to treat themselves with. Be sure to check out the Box Market and Preston Outdoor Market for those who are lovers of vintage or fancy a locally brewed pint or a coffee.
