This weekend, the University of Lancashire’s Freshers Week, officially known as ‘Welcome Week’, kicks off.
Running between Sunday, September 20 and Saturday, September 26, freshers will spend the week getting to know their fellow students and their new homes.
A great way to combine those two things together is to go on a good old fashioned night out so we’ve scoured online reviews to find the best bars and clubs for freshers to try out.
Below we have featured some of the best rated venues from across Preston, in ascending order.
We have tried to base this list off TripAdvisor ratings but some special mentions also feature.
