In December my partner and I went to Fulwood Barracks. Our objective was to gain more information about my partners two Grandfathers WW1 military records. The staff on duty were very helpful and were able to provide new and fascinating facts. One of the volunteers, Damian, then gave us an informative tour of the Barracks and told us more about the history of the many exhibits. A memorable day thank you.

Lots on offer in this old cinema. It has a bygone feel but offers all sorts. Coffee and cake/ice cream/sweets/good beer. They are working on being sustainable with ideas such as free squash for kids if you bring a suitable cup. They use volunteers and have a film/book club providing community with a great social hub. I enjoy a yoga class held there. And of course the film program is an interesting mix of new releases, classics and locally produced films.

Beer Brothers Brewery is Preston's biggest "micro brewery", producing a wide range of excellent beers. We brew craft and real ales to our own unique recipes. The Brewery also benefits from having its own Taproom and bottle shop on site.

My fiance purchased the brewery tour as a Christmas present for myself and my father. We thoroughly enjoyed it and were there for about 2 hours. Sample beers were great and we bought more to take home. Phil and Dave are great guys and really knowedgable and easy to talk to.

This great little place was one of the recommendations to me by the chap at the excellent Priest Town Brewing at Preston Market another must visit for beer fans. I was so glad that he suggested it as I also discovered that it was a matter of yards from the Premier Inn where I was staying. Really decent selection of real ales and keg craft ales with enough variety to meet everyones taste and all well kept. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and happy to talk about the beer and let you try before you buy. A compact friendly place and certainly where I will be returning next time I am in Preston.

My partner and I visited by chance when we were visiting Preston and were delighted with this interesting museum (and great little cafe). There is a well set-out display of historical objects and information surrounding Preston and Lancashire, which we were spent most of our time. Foucault's Pendulum is something that shouldn't be missed. There's a gift shop available if that's of interest, though as I feasted of knowledge (rather than stuff to buy) cannot comment on this in detail.
