🗓️ Save the Date! Friday 15th August 2025 🗓️

Preston Market is celebrating 150 years of its historic canopy – and it sounds like a brilliant couple of days ahead!

On Friday, local favourite John Gillmore will be hosting the official unveiling of a brand-new mural by talented Preston artist Shawn Sharpe.

The celebrations continue on Saturday 16th with Victorian-themed festivities, including street performers and a ‘Best Dressed’ Victorian costume competition.

Sounds like a lovely way to spend a day or two – especially if you enjoy a bit of local history and character! 🎨🎩🎉
