Taste Lancashire heading to Festival of Making

Taste Lancashire is to hold its largest food and drinks market to date at Blackburn's Festival of Making on June 15 and 16.

The marquee, on King William Street, will feature locally produced gins, fruit drinks, vintage cordials, artisan cakes, bakes and chocolates, tempting chutneys and preserves. The producers will also be hand to share behind-the-scenes stories of production, ingredients and quality awards.

Rachel McQueen, chief executive of Marketing Lancashire, said: “Taste Lancashire champions locally made produce, the people who make it and the wonderful array of places it can be enjoyed. From incredible producers, delightful delis and fabulous farm shops, to some of the county’s most celebrated gastro pubs and restaurants, we believe Lancashire is England’s tastiest county.
