This year we welcome the celebrations of the Preston Guild. As time goes by, more and more momentum will gather to the main celebration months of August and September. What is the Guild? It's England’s oldest festival in England’s youngest city!
Preston Guild is a historic celebration dating back to 1179. It is the only Guild still celebrated in the UK and as such is unique. The 2012 celebration will be the first Guild in the 21st century and the first since the granting of Preston’s city status in 2002. Held only once every twenty years, the Guild plays an important role in the development of Preston as a thriving and important Lancashire city. The changing times mean that each Guild has its own identity but shares a heritage of over 800 years.
It is hoped that the Guild celebrations will encourage trade, economic and business activity. During the coming months we'll bring you some Guild history and updates of planned events. Meantime, should you have an interest in getting involved with the letting of your property or a desire to invest in Preston and the surrounding area then please call or email the office. We're here to help.
