Preston Easter Events 2024

There are so many reasons to look forward to Easter - its arrival signifies the end of another bitter winter, the first Bank Holiday of the year resulting in four days of lie-ins and intentional late nights, and the only holiday where gorging on chocolate is actively encouraged.

Whether you're looking to enjoy late night clubbing, the best live gigs, a hotel stay or enjoy a restaurant meal or two in Preston for Easter 2024, Skiddle offers a range of different choices to suit your needs.

Easter Events Guide

Preston has some of the best pubs in the North West. The most popular for students is the Adelphi at the top of Friargate, a large and busy student pub with a good heated beer garden. Every Thursday they host 'Quids'. Basically a huge variety of alcohol on offer for just £1. Entry is £1 too but get there early as it's usually packed! From there you can head down the road on a crawl via the  Lamb and Packet, Roper Hall and Greyfriars before checking out the string of trendy bars that line the street towards town such as Cafe Manyana, The Academy, Reflex (80's pub/club)  and Assembly.

Clubbing

Preston has a load of great nightclubs but we may as well start with the one you’ll be chanting the name and falling down the steps of come the end of your Freshers’ week – Roper Hall. A favourite amongst students and regulars, Roper is cheap, cheerful and fun, playing some great music and the only place to meet your fellow student pals.

If you fancy a more traditional, town centre club then try Squires New York New York, or Lava & Ignite, both modern, popular clubs with plenty of floors and lots of great music played by some top DJ’s. Or try Warehouse on St John’s Place. Three floors of popular Indie and rock music that make it Preston’s best alternative nightclub, once favoured by Joy Division. Get there before 11 on a Friday and Saturday if you like your music “Up to 11” loud.
