The kids loved it as well. It can be a little bit expensive to see a show here but if you go with a group of people you get a huge discount off ticket prices. I would reccomend everyone to book there tickets in advance as well as they do sell out very very quick when a good act is on. I wanted to see Beautiful South perform last year but all the tickets sold out within 2 days. The staff are ok in here but a little bit sstuck up. Overall a beautiful building a great night out. There is always something for the whole family to see here.

I had my first experience of the Conti as a gig venue on Saturday night. Not being a local, I had…read morenever heard of the place before (having only visited Preston itself a few times and those being gigs at the Mad Ferrit and the Student Union). My first impression is that parking is a wee bit of a nightmare and it's a little out of town. That being said, having seen a sample of the other options in Preston - it seems to be worth a bit of a walk. 1) It was Busy! In this day and age (with pubs being on the decline), it was fantastic to see a place so vibey and buzzing. The bar area was busy, the restaurant was nearly full and people were sitting outside under the heaters. 2) Very reasonably priced! We stuck to the Conti Home-brew (at a very passable £2.60 a pint), but a vodka and coke was around £2.70 and it hosts and enviable selection of beers, wines and spirits. The Import lagers are more pricey, but that is to be expected as they're a specialist drink. 3) The crowd was lovely! There was a mix of people in the bar due to the gig, but nearly everyone was chatting to each other and having a joke. I didn't feel like an outsider at all and had a wonderful experience shooting the breeze with many of the locals. The pub itself was clean and well presented and the gig space was perfect for a crowd of around 200 people (with mixed seating and standing). The sound was dead good for the bands and the space really lent itself to hosting small to medium sized events. I didn't have any food, but it looked and smelled very nice indeed. If I had a local like this, I think it would be a bit of a staple venue. Good job Conti!

Very popular canalside pub which gets very busy at weekends in the summertime. It is really…read morespacious inside and has an equally large menu. The helpings are generous and the quality isn't bad, personal favourites are the fish, chips and mushy peas and the steak and kidney pudding. Service is good for such a large establishment, we like lots of gravy with our steak pudding and when we asked for it they duly obliged with an extra gravy boat on the side without a moments hesitation. For night owls they have a limited late night menu from 11pm to 1am with pizzas, steak and kidney pie etc. It also has a good choice of cask beers. On the downside it can get a bit too busy at times, particularly at Bank Holidays, and the design of the place is a bit twee for a lot of people's taste.

We visited here at about 5.30pm on a Saturday and the place was buzzing! Most people were dining,…read morehowever we'd just popped in for a quick pint. Black Sheep was the cask beer, well kept and served by friendly bar staff. A glance at the locally inspired menu convinced me that we'll back soon to try the food. Starters include Bury black pudding & Chorizo with poached egg, hollandaise sauce and rocket and chorizo salad; Goosnargh Chicken Liver and Port Pate; and Morecambe Bay shrimps. Mains include 28 day hung Rib Eye steak, Lancashire Hotpot and Home made Beef and Guinness pie. Quiz night on Thursdays and live music on Fridays.
