The future of the Guild Hall Preston
Preston City Council is currently exploring all available options to secure Guild Hall Preston's full potential and return the venue to its former glory.
We aim to make it one of the best places to enjoy a full variety of shows, performances and exhibitions in the heart of the city centre.
It has the power to change lives, improve well-being, and remind all of us of what connects us as humans. It provides an opportunity for people from all backgrounds to come together to share a common bond - a love for live performance.
