The Met Office has issued amber weather warnings for the whole of Lancashire on Wednesday, June 24, and Thursday, June 25.
Experts are predicting that temperatures could exceed 35C - potentially rivalling the highest temperature ever recorded in Lancashire, which was 35.5C on July 19, 2022.
Residents are being urged to stay safe as the heatwave hits and we think one perfect way to do that is by sitting down to relax indoors with a nice, cold drink.
We therefore scoured TripAdvisor to see which bars and pubs are best tipped to offer that escape from the heat.
We have listed the 15 best according to TripAdvisor below, including their rating and their address.
You may notice that the rankings do not neccesarily go in score order and that is because Tripadvisor uses dynamic popularity indices - including the quality, quanity and recency of reviews- rather than static numbers to rank businesses.
You may also notice that some of the recommended activites are not in core Preston but we have still included them for your consideration.
