In 2002 Preston was awarded city status, making it England's newest city. The occasion was marked when the Queen visited during her Golden Jubilee celebrations.

The city has an ancient history, dating back to when it received its Charter in 1179, and is unique in that it famously holds the Preston Guild every 20 years - with the next celebration due to take place in 2012.

With a population of 130,000, Preston is growing both physically and in terms of profile. Now, the city's driving vision is to be the third city of the North West, after Manchester and Liverpool.

At the centre of Lancashire, Preston has a strong economic and retail base. Its reputation as an attractive place to live, work and invest in has seen major expansion over recent years and is set to continue further with the progression of major projects including the Tithebarn scheme, which will regenerate the city centre.

Preston is a culturally diverse city, with communities from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds living side by side. The various cultures are celebrated with a host of unique festivals throughout the year, including the Caribbean Carnival, Mela and Chinese New Year.

Being the home of Preston North End, football is a huge influence in Preston, making the provision of first class leisure and sports facilities and activities high on the city's agenda. Preston Sports Arena and London Road BMX track, as well as numerous smaller venues offer an array of activities throughout the year for all the family.

Outside the hustle and bustle of the city centre visitors can enjoy the tranquillity of Preston's seven major parks, the waterfront at Riversway Docklands and the tradition of rural Lancashire villages and leafy suburbs.
