One of the Great British chefs will be donning his whites for Lancashire Business Day 2017.

Book now.

Nigel Howarth, chef patron at Northcote, has confirmed he will lead the kitchen team for the first ever business celebration of Lancashire Day.

Nigel has held a Michelin Star for more than two decades, one of his many international honours.

For Lancashire Business Day, Nigel is devising a unique Lancashire-themed menu, and he’ll personally oversee every aspect of the kitchen on the big night.

This new date in the county’s commercial calendar will celebrate the red rose county’s graft, skill, determination and success.

The event has been devised by Lancashire Business View (LBV) magazine in partnership with Marketing Lancashire, the county’s destination management organisation.

Lancashire Day can trace its roots back to 1295 when the county first sent representatives to Edward I’s Parliament.

Lancashire Business Day will take place on November 27, the traditional date for Lancashire Day Celebrations, capping a programme of events across the county.

Stephen Bolton of LBV said: “This event will be a showcase and celebration of Lancashire’s diverse and dynamic business community.

“We want to bring a spotlight to business excellence in the county and help forge new collaborations and connections.

“Our job is to connect the county and encourage trade. Lancashire Business Day is at the heart of that ambition.”

Maria Moriarty Eames of Marketing Lancashire said: “As champions of Lancashire as a place to work, live, invest and visit, Marketing Lancashire is pleased to be part of this new opportunity to celebrate Lancashire Day with the many fantastic businesses which help to make Lancashire a thriving and growing economy.

“Marketing Lancashire has led an annual campaign to get Lancashire Day trending on social media and has raised the profile of Lancashire Day across the globe with #LancashireDay seeing a potential reach of over 60 million people in 2016 and connecting with people in 924 locations across the world.

“This new event offers businesses of all kinds the chance to join in a day that proudly celebrates all things Lancashire and supports our campaign, ‘We Are Lancashire’.”

Packages to attend this event are now available here and organisers are promising top-class Lancashire food, entertainment and inspiration for the November 27 extravaganza.

We have two enhanced packages available for the event at Ewood Park, Blackburn, where Michelin-starred chef Nigel Howarth will lead the kitchen.

The Patron Package, of which eight are available, features extensive branding at the event and participation in a special discussion which will feature prominently in Lancashire Business View magazine online and in print. The Supporter Package also includes prominent event branding and association to the event through online and print platforms.
