A cheap night out in Preston that still feels like a big one

One of the simplest ways to get cheap drinks in Preston and still have a big night is the £12 All Inclusive Pre Party at Baluga: entry for the whole night plus four drinks between 8pm and 10pm, on Fridays and Saturdays. In a group of four or more, it drops to £10 each.

Cheap drinks in Preston: what £12 buys

• Entry to Baluga for the whole night, club included
• Four drinks from the house menu, served 8pm to 10pm
• A choice of house spirit and mixer, favourite cocktails, beers or wine by the glass
• Resident DJs from 8pm

The offer saves over £35 per person on the night. January is when a lot of people are watching what they spend, and this keeps the cost of a night out fixed before you've even left the house.

Make it £10 each

Book as a group of four or more and the price is £10 each. One person can get the round in, so you don't all need to queue at the bar. Tickets are advance booking only and go straight to your phone, and you show the QR code at the bar. Book on the £12 pre party page.

A budget plan for the night

• Before 8pm: eat at home or on the way in
• 8pm: arrive for the pre party and get your first drink
• 8pm to 10pm: your four drinks
• 9:30pm: latest entry on the offer, so don't be late
• 10pm onwards: the club, already paid for

If you only want the club

If you're coming out later, the club guest list gets the first 100 guests in free between 9pm and 11pm, and you skip the queue. Everyone signs up on their own with a mobile number and email. It is advance only and opens for the next opening night. Join on the guest list page.
