The Corn Exchange

The Corn Exchange brings together distinctive event spaces in a historic Preston city-centre building. Organisers can enquire about Ivory Tower, a characterful venue for weddings, corporate functions and private celebrations, as well as the outdoor Rabbit Hole garden for parties and gatherings.

Ivory Tower can host civil ceremonies and civil partnerships, with the room adaptable for a ceremony, wedding meal and evening reception. Couples can make use of a private preparation room and work with a wedding coordinator on the day’s arrangements. Tailored packages and styling options help organisers shape the space around their plans.

For business events, Ivory Tower is available for exclusive hire. It hosts occasions such as client dinners, product launches, awards ceremonies, training sessions and company celebrations. The venue can accommodate up to 400 guests, with different arrangements for seated meals and evening receptions. An events manager can assist with planning, and the team can arrange food, drinks and entertainment options with its trusted suppliers.

The Rabbit Hole offers an alternative outdoor setting for private parties and events, with themed decor, seating and booth hire. Its bar operates seasonally, including as a chalet-style bar over the festive period. The wider Corn Exchange site also includes 1842 Restaurant & Bar, providing food, drinks and live entertainment. Together, these spaces give organisers options for a special celebration, wedding or company gathering, with support available from initial enquiry through to event delivery.
