It's back!
The stage has been set for the first entertainment event at Preston’s Guild Hall since the venue was mothballed more than four years ago.
Since then, the city council has been considering its options for how the venue can be put back on a sustainable footing – most likely by securing a third-party operator to run it. The LDRS understands that upgrade work that began in the spring is continuing – including the replacement of some seating, the installation of a new sprinkler system and the switchover from traditional lighting to LED bulbs. Just this week, new signage has also been erected outside the landmark city venue.
For now, however, his focus is on ensuring that the relaunch event is the best that it can be – and one that ultimately sees the city regain an entertainment venue whose prolonged absence has often felt like it might become permanent. “The Guild Hall is a well-loved venue – particularly amongst Prestonians – and we want to attract the right operator to take the business into the next chapter of its story. By updating the frontage, the appearance of the venue will look much more appealing – and the new logo marks the beginning of a new chapter in its history.”
