Mistajam and Craig Charles will spin the records at the Purple Party

Two well-known DJs are to perform at an outdoor concert on the Flag Market in January.

The Purple Party is to celebrate the city constantly securing a Purple Flag for a night out.

DJs MistaJam and Craig Charles have been confirmed to perform at the event on Saturday 30 January.

Thousands of free tickets for the event are due to be made available for the free outdoor nightclub.

The DJs will be playing their tunes from the balcony of the Harris Museum and Art Gallery.

BID manager Mark Whittle said: “We are delighted to announce two huge names from the DJ circuit to our Purple Party in January.

“We have been promising this will be the biggest free night-time party Preston has ever seen since we first launched the event in late September and now we can truly back that up.

“We have two acts that are incredibly well known between them and will appeal to a wide and varied audience, which is exactly what we want to attract to our great city.

“The whole point of the Purple Party is to get thousands of people into the city early on to enjoy a good time before heading out into our local nightspots to enjoy what Preston has to offer – award-winning nightlife and a huge welcome.

“Tickets are free, but limited, and we are urging people to apply now and help us paint Preston purple in the New Year.”

Tickets are available via the PrestonAtNight Facebook page.
