highly the festival is regarded beyond Lancashire by those who recognise a good event when they see one. If the weather is kind, a fun

the highlight of our year - it’s aim is to showcase local produc­ ers and it sticks to it.” Festival co-ordinator Julie

to over-indulge, high intensity workout demonstrations from CobraFit will put festival goers through their paces between 12


and 12-30 pm and 2 to 2-30 pm in the Bull Ring at the market. Martin Smith, ofthe Lancas­


ter Brewery, one of this year’s sponsors and a stalwart of the festival, said: “Too many food


and drinkfestivals concentrate on making money and over commercialise their event and they forget the reason the fes­ tivals were created in the first place - to support local area ar­


become sponsors want to be associated with quality events. “It’s ho easy task, we have


such a tiny team. We only work part time on the event, as we


have our own businesses to run too.


“It takes a lot of effort and many sleepless nights, but is


worth every minute seeing people eqjoying what a wonder­ ful festival we’ve co-ordinated for them to eiy oy so freely with their friends and family. “If only we could persuade


them all to part with a fiver we would not worry too much about next year’s funding.” The festival opens on Satur­


day at 9 am. Donations are welcomed


at the Clitheroe Food Festival stand, which can be found in the centre of the marquee area on the market car park on fes­ tival day. There are a few cookery dem­


onstrations, talks and tastings still requiring support. Advanced ticket sales have


now ceased, but many events have a few seats still remain­ ing. These can be purchased on the door on the run up to the session. • For more information
