This weekend, Saturday 16 November, I should be popping along to the new Colne Food Festival in Colne, Lancashire. It’s the first time that Colne has hosted the event, and the organisers, Ashley Sutcliffe and Charles Bolton, hope that it will become an annual event that showcases the best that the town has to offer.
The festival will be taking place at the Colne Muni from 10am until 4pm. I can’t get down in the morning but I'm hoping to pop along with Alex in the afternoon as there seems to be quite the selection of things going on there. The festival is expected to have more than 50 stalls, covering everything from gourmet hot dogs and pizza to chutneys and chocolate. There will also be live cooking demonstrations, information about how to cook on a tight budget (I need this!), a cupcake decorating workshop, vintage tea room, ciders, face painter and much more. It sounds like a fantastic event and will hopefully do a lot for the town of Colne, as it really deserves the praise with all the cultural activities they've been doing over the last few years.
Ashley and Charles are both local traders; Ashley owns interior designers Live Like the Boy while Charles runs Let’s Get Crafty (which will also be hosting a food and craft fair the following day in Whalley).
I'll be sure to write up a report on our visit this weekend, but if you live close to Colne then please pop along and join in! More information is available on the fair's Facebook page.
