Preston heritage: Free public event to bring 100 year old Preston Guild to life through celebration of the 1922 Guild Pageant
What do organisers say?
Principal Lecturer in History at UCLan Dr Keith Vernon, who will speak at the event, commented: “The Preston Guild dates back to the 16th century but in 1922 an historical pageant was introduced for the first and only time. Although pageants had become very popular through the Edwardian period, this one was distinctive because it was performed entirely by children.
Kate Newman from Lancashire Archives said: “The 1922 Guild Pageant was a unique event and was very well recorded through intriguing documents and amazing images. These records are cared for by Lancashire Archives, and Saturday will be an opportunity to share them.“It's going to be a great chance to celebrate the centenary of this community extravaganza, and to remind the people of Preston what their family members may have been up to 100 years ago.
