Easter weekend nights out in Preston

Easter is a bank holiday weekend, so Baluga in Preston opens on the Sunday as well as Friday and Saturday. For things to do in Preston on a bank holiday, the free club guest list is the easy way in: the first 100 guests get free entry between 9pm and 11pm.

Things to do in Preston on a bank holiday: Easter weekend

A long weekend means you don't have to cram everything into Saturday. Some groups do brunch one day and the club the next. Others save themselves for the Sunday, when nobody has work in the morning. Whichever night you pick, agree it early so the whole group can plan around it, and sort tickets or sign-ups in advance.

Opening over the long weekend

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

Times can vary on public holidays, so check @balugapreston on Instagram or facebook.com/balugabar for the Easter times before you plan.

The guest list

The guest list is free and gets you past the queue. Here is how it works:

The first 100 guests on the list get free entry between 9pm and 11pm
Sign-up is in advance only, and opens for the next opening night
Each guest signs up on their own with a mobile number and email
You get a confirmation by text

Make sure everyone in your group signs up, not just the organiser. Join on the club guest list page.

Start with brunch or the pre party

For an afternoon start, the Saturday bottomless brunch sits at 4pm and finishes at 6:30pm: 90 minutes of cocktails, prosecco and Peroni with a main and side each for £39 per person. For an evening start, the £12 All Inclusive Pre Party runs 8pm to 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays with entry for the night and four drinks. Groups of four or more pay £10 each. See the pre party for tickets.
