Preston is the commercial capital of Lancashire, with excellent rail links to London and beautiful surrounding countryside. It’s a warm, vibrant metropolis with a history that stretches back to the Domesday book of 1086 so there is plenty to see and do outside your conference. Preston is a surprisingly green city, with myriad leafy parks, canal side strolls and river walks – Avenham Park’s Japanese Rock Garden is the perfect place for quiet reflection in between meetings. Or visit the magnificent Harris Museum and Art Gallery, with its collection of 19th century fine art and 20th century textile prints it is ideal for some pre-conference inspiration. The dedicated conference facilities Preston has to offer are exceptional, ranging from imposing halls and state-of-the-art university facilities to the famous football stadium and impressive theatres. All this combines to make Preston and Central Lancashire an ideal location for stress-free conferences!
