A food and drink festival is back "bigger and even better" for 2022.
A Taste of Leyland is a celebration of local and regional food, drink and live music, with a whole host of foodie stalls and activities, entertainment, and fun for the whole family.
Held on Saturday September 24 on Hough Lane from 11am to 5pm, there will be a demonstration kitchen featuring local food businesses showcasing their recipes and skills, artisan produce, and lots of food and drink stalls offering food tasting, as well as the opportunity to buy the products to take away and enjoy at home.
Leader of South Ribble Borough Council, Councillor Paul Foster, said: “I'm looking forward to the seeing the popular event - A Taste of Leyland - return to the town centre in September promoting our excellent local food and drink businesses.
"This fantastic event will showcase local produce and offer cooking demonstrations as well as the opportunity to sample some tasty products."
Due to the success of the event last year, the location has been moved a little way across Leyland town centre to Hough Lane to allow for more space, extra exhibitor stalls and entertainment.
The live music stage will feature local talent and there will also be children’s activities and fairground rides to keep everyone entertained.
Cllr Foster added: "I encourage local businesses to join in to showcase their produce and everyone to come along to the event to have a great day out and enjoy the entertainment and some tasty food and drink offerings.
"Through events like this we aim to help support and promote local businesses and provide an attraction for residents and visitors from the wider north west region to enjoy.”
There are a few spaces left for stall holders and applications can be made at https://yoursay.citizenspace.com/communications/5dafc216/.
More details on the exhibitors and entertainment will be shared in the coming weeks.
