Hangout @ The Harris – Preston
In today’s fast-moving, hyper-connected business landscape, success isn’t just about what you know – it’s about who you know.
Whether you’re an experienced manager, a startup founder, or an ambitious professional on the rise, building strong, strategic relationships is key to accelerating growth, discovering new opportunities, and staying ahead of the competition.
That’s why you can’t afford to miss our new ‘Chamber Hangout’ events – the first of which takes place in Preston, at The Harris Museum, on Thursday 9th October, from 4.00pm – 6.00pm
The Harris will officially reopen its doors to the public on Sunday, 28 September 2025 following a once-in-a-generation restoration as part of the Harris Your Place project. The transformation reimagines The Harris as a dynamic and inclusive cultural hub for the 21st century, blending art, history, community, and a refreshed library service to deliver an exciting new visitor experience.
