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.
