Preston Guild 2012 - Big top tents in Avenham Park

Preston Guild 2012 - Big top tents in Avenham Park. Monday 03 September 2012.

 

For the 2012 Preston Guild most main events took place on Avenham and Miller Parks. Avenham Park was used for various concerts and featured two a big top tents and a main stage. Miller Park featured the Preston Tringe which was similar to the Edinburgh Fringe / Festival. It was utter rubbish in particular the exhibition tent and apart from the young arty types many people were very disappointed with the events held in Miller Park.

 

A very good and popular food fair was held on Winckley Square Park and Chapel Street over first weekend of September and really this should have carried on for all the ten days of the main Guild celebrations.

 

Like many people I was very disappointed that for this Guild the large (Home & Beauty) exhibition on Moor Park did not take place. To be honest the only thing that prevented the Guild celebrations from being a total disaster were the processions which were magnificent.
