Bank holiday nights out in Preston

The bar in full swing under pink light

On a bank holiday weekend Baluga in Preston opens on the Sunday as well as the usual Friday and Saturday, so you get an extra night out. One of the easiest things to do in Preston on a bank holiday is start at 8pm on the Friday or Saturday with the £12 All Inclusive Pre Party, then stay for the club.

Things to do in Preston on a bank holiday weekend

A long weekend means you can choose which night is the big one. Here is when the doors are open:

  • Friday: 6pm to 4am
  • Saturday: 4pm to 4am
  • Sunday: open on bank holiday weekends only

Times can change on public holidays, so check @balugapreston on Instagram or facebook.com/balugabar before you set off.

Start early with the pre party

The pre party runs 8pm to 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Your £12 ticket covers entry for the whole night plus four drinks from the house menu: a house spirit and mixer, favourite cocktails, beers or wine by the glass. Groups of four or more pay £10 each, and resident DJs start at 8pm.

Tickets are advance booking only and go straight to your phone as a QR code to show at the bar. Latest entry on the offer is 9:30pm, so don't leave it too late. Here is how the £12 pre party works.

Or brunch first on the Saturday

If the group would rather eat, the Saturday bottomless brunch starts at 4pm and the sitting ends at 6:30pm. You get 90 minutes of cocktails, prosecco and Peroni with a main and side each, for £39 per person or £30 drinks only. The bar carries on afterwards, so you can roll straight into the evening. See the brunch menu and times.

Getting in

  • Over 18s only, and Challenge 25 applies
  • Bring a valid UK driving licence or UK passport: the physical card or book, not a photo
  • Dress smart: smart trainers are fine, sportswear, tracksuits, caps, hoods and sliders are not
  • The door decision is final

A bank holiday is a good excuse to get the whole group out, including the friend who works Mondays. Pick the night early and send the plan round.
