Phenomenal’ Clitheroe Food Festival Smashes Visitor Numbers

alt text required

Over 25,000 food enthusiasts converged on Clitheroe for the town’s annual food festival that featured some of the region’s best food and drink from around 100 exhibitors. And jubilant festival organisers Ribble Valley Borough Council today heralded the event as a triumph of food diversity that smashed its 20,000 record for visitor numbers.

Producers at the festival were sold out by lunchtime and had to send for additional stock, while street food vendors attracted long queues throughout the day. And town centre shops also got a slice of the pie, with many reporting increased footfall and sales, notably from many first-time visitors to the town. The Ribble Valley Taste Fest – now in its second year – took place in the days leading up to the festival and featured a feast of activities and special events, including pizza-making, farm visits, guided walks and distillery tours, many of which were sold out within days of tickets going on sale.
