Preston Playhouse Paranormal Investigation

Preston Playhouse, situated in Preston, Lancashire, was initially established in 1847 as a Friends Meeting House for the Quakers. It was designed to host large gatherings, featuring high ceilings and women’s balconies to facilitate significant attendance. The building functioned as a Quaker meeting space until 1924, after which it became a dance hall and later served as an army records office during World War II.

In 1949, the Preston Drama Club acquired the building, marking its transition into the Preston Playhouse we recognize today. Since then, it has been repurposed as a theatre, undergoing renovations to improve its facilities, including adding a stage, proscenium arch, and seating​.

​Rich in history, the Playhouse is also said to host various spirits, including a notable figure named Albert, who is believed to be searching for his lost children in the area. This site is one we have had the privilege of investigating in the past. The activity we’ve encountered here has made it a venue we’ve wanted to include in our events since our inception. We are truly grateful to the team at Preston Playhouse for accommodating our investigations amid their busy schedule​.
