Come and meet Shared Interest Ambassadors at the Riversway Festival.

The weekend boasts over sixty guest boaters who sail to Preston from around the country to join in the fun, a host of water based activities such as boat trips around the dock. Guest boats including the RNLI and other maritime services and even a charity dragon boat competition brining the water alive with activity to entertain all the family. We are also in negotiations with the Royal Navy to bring HMS Charger to the festival.

Street Theatre is a major feature of the Riversway programme, keeping the crowds of all ages entertained across the weekend with sea faring favourites, talking whales, pirouetting pirates and quirky mermaids. The exhibition marquee offers a unique range of stalls to provide the perfect gift or even treat for yourself alongside a well stocked bar to quench the thirst of any festival goer. Friday will again play host to a night of live music and dancing and Saturday night will see the return of the popular folk night. A must-see is ‘Sing the Docks’ run by More Music working with choirs, singers and festival goers, to bring 2000+ singers harmonising over the waters for singing Sunday. Sunday will see scratch choirs, gospel singers, youth singers and more providing a relaxing antidote to the activity packed Saturday allowing you to unwind in style.

Meet Shared Interest Ambassadors at the Preston Guild Trades Procession 2012.

Trade is at the very heart of the Guild Merchant. Although much has changed, the Trades Procession is the direct descendant of the first processions of traders, craftsmen and merchants going back to at least 1762 (the earliest documentary evidence). In 1992 3,000 people from 123 firms took part in a magnificent procession of 148 imaginatively decorated floats supported by 20 bands.

In 2012 the decorated floats and walkers will represent the current day industries, businesses and public services of the City. This is a unique, once a generation, opportunity to promote your business through networking and wide reaching PR/marketing exposure.
