There's more to do than ever before this Christmas in Preston.
From shopping, to dining, cinema and bowling, a cultural excursion to the Harris Museum, ice skating, and more. It's easy to get to by bus, train, or car, and there's even free parking at selection locations across the city. Ditch the online shopping, or the hour's drive each way to Manchester or Liverpool, and enjoy the magic of Christmas right here on your doorstep (if you want to avoid finding yourself on Santa's Naughty List)
There's no shortage of places to look for the perfect Christmas gift. We've got all the big brands you'd expect, like M&S, Next, River Island and more, plus a growing community of independent retailers.
Preston is chock-full of amazing places to eat, drink, and be merry this festive season. From high-end restaurants to hearty, winter warming fayre in cosy pubs, or hot chocolate with the family.
Fancy a break from shopping? Head to the ARC Cinema, treat yourself to a bucket of popcorn, settle into a comfy seat, and feast your eyes on the screen to watch the latest movies.
Strike! With not one but two venue in the city centre, you'll be bowled over with choices! Head to the all-new Hollywood Bowl or Level and challenge friends or family for the top score.
Recently reopened after a multi-million pound renovation, the Harris Museum is full of art and artefacts, interesting curiosities, and, until the New Year, the fabulous Wallace & Gromit exhibition.
The region's largest, outdoor real ice rink is coming to Preston, and will be situated under the covered market meaning you'll be able to enjoy it whatever the weather! Get your skates on and glide into Christmas.
There's so much to do, you might even want to extend your visit and stay in one of Preston's hotels, from global and national brands, to small, independent boutiques, you're sure of a warm welcome.
We've got it all right here
