Preston Guild 2012
Preston Guild 2012 is an incredibly exciting time for the city of Preston as it celebrates the historic traditions of Preston Guild. It’s a wonderful and unique opportunity to showcase Preston’s hidden gems. This Guild will include celebrations of the arts, sports, faith, diversity, youth and Preston past and future alongside traditional civic elements with a 21st century twist! Galloway’s will once again be taking part and need your help and ideas. It may seem a long way off, but we need to start planning now. If you would like to be involved or have any ideas or suggestions on what our theme may be, please get in touch with us.
