What is it? When a group of like minded pub/bar owners got together and discussed how we could promote our venues the Preston Pub Festival was born. We all run very different diverse venues, from traditional pubs to micro pubs to brewery taps but all have one thing in common, the love of the product we sell. This festival is to promote what a great pub scene Preston has and the great variety of beers and ciders are on offer. All the venues are within a 15min walk of the town centre with great transport links. What can I expect? Think along the lines of a beer festival but rather than being stuck in one place, you'll get to experience the hospitality from several different venues. There'll be a huge range of different beers and ciders on offer and each venue will have their own special USP. It could be live music, a tap takeover, food offerings or quite simply just a fantastic range of beers and ciders.

What we'll deliver:

  • Showcase small independent hospitality venues
  • Put on various events across the city centre from music, tap take overs, food pairing events etc
  • Promote across all social media platforms, physical marketing and word of mouth to increase footfall in the city centre.

Why it's a great idea:

Increased footfall throughout the city to benefit all whilst promoting the small independent community of businesses. Events will take place across the city for the entire weekend. Last year saw a huge uptake in trade across the venues.

Steps to get it done:

  • Raise enough money to pay for advertising materials
  • Raise enough to pay for our social media guru
