We were there for the pre-party, and it was a great night. The weather across Friday and Saturday was booming, but then the rain arrived on Sunday, but this didn’t stop the festival goers having a great time.

In a social media post made on Saturday, Preston Police said,

“People of Preston, you are doing our city proud at Radio 2  In The Park Festival in Moor Park by showing the nation what a fun loving bunch we are.

Unfortunately a small number of people have ignored the no fly zone and we have had to seize three drones.

Just a reminder that the airspace restriction remains in place between  12pm and 11.59pm today and tomorrow. They are there to keep everyone attending the festival safe.
