Pub Fest Venue Announcement: The Guild Ale House 🍻

A proper Preston pub, doing things a little differently since 2016.

The Guild Ale House keeps things simple: great beer, real conversation, and a place where people actually talk to each other.

Expect 7 ever-changing real ales, 9 keg lines, real ciders, Belgian beers, plenty of alcohol-free options and a good selection of wines and spirits.

There’s also live music, open mics, quizzes and plenty going on throughout the year. 🎤

And with a few CAMRA awards under their belt, they clearly know a thing or two about running a good pub.

We’re very happy to have The Guild Ale House back for Preston Pub Fest, 18–20 September. 🍻

Pub Fest Venue Announcement: The Moorbrook 🍻

Back for another year of Preston Pub Fest, The Moorbrook is always worth the trip out of the city centre.

Expect quality beer, a great beer garden, a proper friendly pub atmosphere and wood-fired pizzas from Croston Pizza Co.

See you at The Moorbrook, 18–20 September.

Pub Fest Venue Announcement 📣

Back again for 2026, welcome Bar Pintxos to the Preston Pub Festival line-up!

About Bar Pintxos:

Northern Spanish taberna & bodega. 🍻

Bar Pintxos offers excellent Spanish beer, wine, cocktails as well as DELICIOUS Pintxos. 🫒🐟🥖

But what are Pintxos? Much like the Mexicans put lime in their beers to keep the insects away the public houses of northern spain put stale bread ontop of their caña (little beer). As each bar got more competitive the ingredients used ontop of the bread grew into Pintxos (peen-cho). Made for bar hopping, by the end of the street you’re full of food, laughter, beer and wine.

We’re so excited to have Bar Pintxos on the Pub Fest Line-up! 🇪🇸 🍻

Venue Announcement: Winedown 🍷 🍻 ✨

Tucked away in an underground cellar, Winedown is all about cosy Mediterranean vibes, good drinks and a soundtrack that covers everything from jazz, funk and soul to indie, rock and electro.

There are over 180 bottled wines to choose from, 13 wines by the glass, and one of Preston’s best whisky selections, alongside Breton cider, Belgian beers and a rotating tap lager.

And when you need something to eat? Expect plenty of cheese, meat and mixed boards, with nachos and dip pots for those feeling extra cheesy.

A proper little cellar to settle into for Pub Fest. 🍷🧀🍻
