About us
A mature and reliable pedigree is what makes Alston Hall a very special place to hold your corporate event! Alston Hall provides an attractive, peaceful location for Businesses and Organisations to hold their staff training, meetings and conferences on either a residential or day basis. The beautiful building and gardens with stunning views overlooking the Ribble Valley make it an ideal setting for your special celebrations and events. Alston Hall is a Victorian country house overlooking the beautiful Ribble Valley, about 6 miles east of Preston. Although in an idyllic rural location, junction 31A of the M6 is only a few miles away. The College has a distinguished past but now has its eyes firmly set on the future. Alston Hall is owned and maintained by Lancashire County Council and is part of Lancashire Adult Learning. The College provides a varied and extensive programme of non accredited adult education courses, with the emphasis on creativity, self development and enjoyment. The venue is equally suitable for corporate meetings, staff training and conferences, offering a good choice of meeting rooms, all with appropriate presentation equipment. The beautiful building and gardens with stunning views also makes Alston Hall an ideal place for weddings, celebrations and events.
