The date for this year’s Clitheroe Food Festival has been announced.

It will take place in the historic East Lancashire market town on Saturday, August 8.

The popular festival, organised by Ribble Valley Council and sponsored by Fort Vale Engineering and Castlewood Care Home, attracts around 25,000 visitors to Clitheroe town centre annually.

This year’s festival will round off a week of food events being held throughout the borough from August 1 to 7, as part of the Ribble Valley Taste Fest.

Clitheroe Food Festival features some of the region’s best food and drink from around 100 exhibitors, along with family-friendly fun and street entertainment.

The associated Ribble Valley Taste Fest features a series of themed walks, food-making demonstrations and tasting sessions at farms and food venues throughout the borough.

Ribble Valley Council leader Simon Hore said: “The festival has grown year-on-year and last year attracted around 25,000 people to Clitheroe town centre, which is a phenomenal achievement.

“The council has created a strong narrative around local food and drink over the years and visitors are invited to save the date for a feast of top produce, family fun and a warm Ribble Valley welcome.”

Further details about the Clitheroe Food Festival and Ribble Valley Taste Fest will be available over the coming weeks.
