Ambitious plans are being drawn up to erect a huge’ concert structure on Prestons Avenham Park to house one of the biggest business event of next year, the BIBAs 2012.

The BIBAs are set move from its traditional Blackpool home to this purpose built temporary structure in order to provide additional capacity to what is expected to be a sell out event. Babs Murphy, Chief Executive of the North & Western Lancashire Chamber of Commerce, organisers of the BIBAs said: “ We’re delighted that the BIBAs will take place in Preston next year. Ordinarily Blackpool plays host to the ceremony because there are few venues elsewhere in the county that are large enough to accommodate such a large number of guests.

“However, with the focus being on Preston during 2012, we’ve investigated all options and are happy that the Victorian splendor of Avenham Park would suit the BIBAs and are delighted to announce it is our chosen venue.
