Preston Guild The Preston Guild is a celebration , held every twenty years in the Lancashire town of Preston , of the granting of a charter by King Henry II in 1179 for a guild of traders , craftsmen and merchants to be set up in the town , those individuals having the monopoly to undertake such business henceforth . Ceremonies were soon established to check members of the guild and these evolved into civic celebrations , the first recorded one being held in 1397 . In time it became apparent that frequent events were not required as the membership of the guild only changed once a generation and therefore the membership checks and the civic celebrations involved were staged only once every two decades . The control by the guild of trade in the town lasted until 1790 but the accompanying celebrations , parades and fairs have lasted to the present day , an unbroken sequence from 1522 only being interrupted in 1942 because of the wartime situation . A saying also exists in Lancashire regarding infrequent events that they happen only " once every Preston Guild " . External links .
