Official launch of Inter Faith Week 2026 in Preston, bringing together faith leaders, community groups and young people under the theme 'Lighting the Way for a Shared Future'.
Preston Inter Faith Week 2026 kicks off with a special launch event at Vault Youth Zone on Sunday 8 November, from 6:00pm to 7:30pm. It's the official start of the week, delivered by Light Foundation in partnership with Vault Youth Zone, and it brings together faith leaders, religious and non-religious groups, members of the public and young people to celebrate interfaith friendships and local partnerships across Preston and Lancashire.
The theme for the week is Lighting the Way for a Shared Future, and the whole thing runs under the tagline Different Faiths. Shared Values. One Community. The launch is just the beginning: the week itself stretches from Sunday 8 to Sunday 15 November, with 17 events spread across eight days. It opens with faith leaders laying a wreath at the Remembrance Day Service at Preston Cenotaph, and the rest of the programme is supported by Vault Youth Zone and Preston City Council.

If you're in the city on the 8th, the launch is a good way to see what the rest of the week has in store. It's held at Vault, Preston Youth Zone on Tithebarn Street, PR1 1DJ, and entry is free. The event runs from 6:00pm to 7:30pm, so it's an early evening one.
