Teach in Preston

Preston is a city in the centre of Lancashire, England.

From historic links to Thomas Arkwright and the Industrial Revolution, to those involving Preston North End, Sir Tom Finney and the Football League, there’s plenty to savour in Preston.

Wander through Avenham and Miller Parks, or Winkley Square, for a genuine taste of the city centre’s green spaces, wildlife habitats and play areas.

If shopping is more your scene, sample Preston’s reputation as Lancashire’s premier shopping destination, offering two large shopping centres and numerous high street brands. The beauty of shopping in Preston is that all of the city’s shopping is relatively compact and easy to explore, plus you can soak up the awe-inspiring architecture while you shop. It’s not just about famous high-street names and brands though, Preston also offers bustling indoor and outdoor markets, fresh Lancashire products, and a variety of boutique and independent shops, many with a long, proud history of their own.

Preston’s Purple Flag Award also promises quality entertainment and a safe, vibrant night out. A plethora of bars, pubs and clubs, theatre, dance, arts, comedy and live music make for an enlivening weekend experience.
