About The Northern Way Preston
The Northern Way Preston is a grassroots music venue in Preston, Preston with a standing capacity of approximately 70. PA system and vocal mics are provided; bring your own instruments and amps.
The Northern Way is a stylish Amber Taverns bar in the heart of Preston's Friargate (79 Friargate, PR1 2ED), known for its rums, cocktails and an open, welcoming feel. It actively supports the city's musical talent, hosting a popular open-mic night every Tuesday alongside regular live-music events through the week. Performers get a house PA and the room takes both originals and covers.

Capacity is around 70, keeping gigs intimate.
