Mobile Event Tent - aka The MET - Preston s new pop-up city centre event space
The city received a total of £20.9m from the Towns Fund in March to support its wider Harris Quarter Investment Programme.
The structure, which has been designed and developed in Preston, will be made from specially adapted shipping containers, a fabric cover, and other materials to create a 150sq m space capable of accommodating up to 100 people.
The MET will play a key role in encouraging people back into the city centre, generating economic activity and providing work for local artists. A planning application for the structure has been submitted to Preston City Council.
