Theatres & Shows in Preston
If you're after a proper theatre trip from Preston, there's a longer trip out to Lancaster Grand Theatre. It's a proper old theatre right in the middle of town, doing pantomime, comedy, music nights and children's shows, including The Littlest Yak. Tickets start from £12.50, and there's a cafe on site along with a hearing loop, so it's not just a bare stage and rows of seats. There's only the one venue on this list, so the choice is really about the trip rather than picking between places. It suits most ages, with nothing to stop you bringing a toddler or an older child to the right show. There's a baby change and breastfeeding friendly space for little ones, dog friendly areas if you're bringing the family dog, and wheelchair access with accessible toilets throughout. Check what's on before you set off, since panto season and touring shows come and go through the year.
