GUILD HOUSE

Preston Marina

THE GUILD CITY Built on the north bank of the River Ribble, Preston is a city and the administrative centre of Lancashire, England.

The district obtained city status in 2002, becoming England’s 50th city in the 50th year of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign.

There’s a rich history to Preston, commonly known as the Guild City. From its fine architecture and fantastic parkland to a rich sporting heritage and bustling nightlife.

P R E ST O N LANCASHIRE

Famous for the Guild procession, a prestigious event which takes place every 20 years. Based on Preston’s historic ‘Guild Merchant’ status, which gave the town the right to have an organisation of traders and craftsmen. A status that was given its Royal Charter by Henry II in 1179.

Preston’s history runs long and deep, providing the foundation for today’s modern thriving city alongside its growing reputation as a major retail and administrative centre for Lancashire and the North West.

Preston obtained city status in 2002, becoming England’s 50th city in the 50th year of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. Part of the Queen’s Golden Jubilee celebrations.

An area that proved such an integral player in driving the Industrial Revolution, Preston remains at the forefront of UK business growth to this day with a thriving economy.
