Party-goers brave the cold to paint Preston purple
Some 5,000 people descended on the city’s historical Flag Market, beneath the grandeur of the Harris Museum, for the Purple Party on Saturday night.
There they were entertained by live sets from Robot Wars star and DJ Craig Charles and Radio One and 1Xtra broadcaster MistaJam, from 8 to 11.30pm.

Guests attending were treated to a warm up set by city favourite Nick Carter before the two main acts took to the stage.
