The Festival features a whole host of food to sample and buy in the Festival Hall and Marquee, including traditional Lancashire foodstuffs alongside more exotic and international treats. You'll be able to pick up a few tips at one of the cookery demonstrations in the cookery theatre and also enjoy a tipple at one of the tutored wine tasting sessions, which went down a treat last year. There'll be street music and dancing, and a Festival cafe for when you need a well-earned rest.
Two of the main tourist attractions Oswaldtwistle Mills and Haworth Art Gallery will also embrace the Food Festival and will be offering something special for the two days of the festival.
So, come along, have a great day out, nibble new taste sensations, and enjoy a traditional warm Lancashire welcome.
The Food Festival is organised by Hyndburn Leisure Services with support from Made in Lancashire and Hyndburn Borough Council.
