Emily Savage, Area Manager for the pub said: "We are very excited about the re-development in the area and have been watching the UCLan Masterplan unfold over the last few years - we are delighted to be in a position to open our newly invested venue just in time to welcome the students of Preston back after what has been a tough year for them.

"Now that we can offer a modern, up to date, fully equipped social space for our customers to use and enjoy, we are confident that customers – new and old – will return and that we’ll see a great atmosphere in the pub.

"We’re only just reopening after our refurbishment and we’ve already seen a lot of interest in The Adelphi. It will be great to welcome customers back to show them what we’ve created.
