Wedding Open Day

The Harris is opening its doors for a wedding open day on Thursday 19 November, from 11am to 2pm. It's held in The Harris Reading Room, right in the centre of Preston, and it's aimed at couples who are starting to think about where they'll tie the knot.

The Reading Room is one of the spaces The Harris lets out for weddings, and they describe it as a setting of stunning architecture and timeless elegance. It's a good chance to see the room in person and get a feel for the scale and the light before you commit to anything. If you're in the middle of planning, it's often easier to stand in a room for five minutes than to try and imagine it from a few photos on a screen.

When you arrive, you'll be handed a glass of Prosecco, and from there you can wander through the space and meet the Wedding Team. They're the people who actually run the bookings, so if you have questions about dates, numbers, or how things work on the day, they'll be on hand to answer them. There's a wedding brochure available to download from their site as well, which you can look through beforehand or take home with you.

It's free and drop-in, so you don't need a ticket — you can just turn up whenever suits you between 11am and 2pm on the Thursday. If you're in the city that morning, it's a low-pressure way to see what the place is like without having to book a formal viewing.
