Preston is Lancashire's biggest city and a hotspot for pub culture. The city centre pubs along Friargate, Fishergate, and the revitalised Avenham and Miller Parks area are known for outdoor terraces and beer gardens — many of which catch strong afternoon sun thanks to the south-facing River Ribble valley.
Golden Pints launched in Lancaster to help locals find the sunniest pint in real time. Preston is our first expansion city — with a population three times larger and a richer pub scene, it's a natural next step as we build the definitive beer garden tracker for the north west of England.
We're currently mapping Preston beer gardens, verifying sun orientations, heaters, dog-friendly policies, covered areas, and more. If you run a pub in Preston and want to be considered, email Phil with the pub name and outdoor space.
