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.

Covert Cocktail Club
Covert Cocktail Club
Multi-city
Once upon a time in 2016, Matt Levy, founder of Covert Cocktail Club, hosted a secret speakeasy as an intimate place for strangers to gather in his home. The only way to find out about it was via word of mouth. No address was given, the only clue being a sign placed in the window, “Cocktails Here”. A lot of people thought it was pretty cool, even before The New York Times wrote about it. But that was all pre-pandemic, and this is a new era. Liberated from the confines of a single location, Covert Cocktail Club now brings the speakeasy right to your door—be it at your home, office, bar mitzvah, dinner party, bachelor/ette party or anywhere you choose!

Jake Of Spades

Hey there, I'm Jake Schwartz. It's great to meet you! I performed my first magic shows at 2 years old, making my food “disappear” for my parents at every meal. I quickly became obsessed with the moments a magic trick could create. | However, not everyone enjoys being “FOOLED” over and over by a kid, so I learned how to tell STORIES through my magic. Suddenly, people weren’t made to be the FOOL, they were PART of a STORY. | Since then, I've won international awards, appeared on television over 70 times, performed in 3 World Tours with the most viral sports team on the planet as The Savannah Bananas’ Magician First Base Coach, and subsequently launched my very own theater tour - "The Game Changing Magic Tour: The World's Only Magic Show For Sports Fans." | This personable, up-beat, and experiential style of magic allowed me to help companies listed on the fortune-500, mom-and-pop businesses, new start-ups, Major League sports teams, World-Series Champions, A-List celebrities, and private groups across the country break down walls, get to know each other, and create LASTING memories through magic. | If you're looking for a personable, engaging, and mind blowing experience for your group - send me/my team a message!
