Overview
As a city status holder since 2002 and Lancashire's administrative centre, Preston sees a broad spread of group travel rather than one dominant attraction. The Harris Museum and Art Gallery runs a year-round exhibition and events programme that regularly brings in school and cultural groups, while Preston Guild Hall's concert arena and 780-seat theatre host touring music, comedy and family shows that need coordinated group transport. Avenham and Miller Park, a riverside park along the River Ribble with a Japanese water garden and Georgian streets nearby, is a popular outdoor stop, and Trax Motor Sports' 140-acre karting and motocross complex is a regular choice for corporate and stag group activity days. Preston's position on the M6 corridor, just over half an hour from Manchester and close to Blackpool and Lancaster, makes it a practical hub for group travel across Lancashire. We provide coach and minibus hire for school trips, corporate events, activity days and private hire; Preston is roughly 210 miles from London, about three hours 45 minutes by road.
Preston, England draws group visitors for everything from corporate conferences and trade shows to school field trips, wedding celebrations, and sporting events. Below are the venues and landmarks our groups visit most often — each one a regular stop on our Preston routes.
