An amazing day of food, drink and free attractions including a D-Day commemoration war reenactment is in store as the Accrington Food & Drink Festival.
Last year saw 10,000 visitors enjoying the sunshine and entertainment. The food festival's main cooking demonstration area will be headlined by TV and Michelin Star Chef, Glynn Purnell, demonstrating how to recreate a Michelin worthy dish at home.
Attractions are on offer across the town centre including the main cooking demonstration area, continental market, food, drink and craft stalls, fairground rides, and the Accrington Market pods on the town square. There will be plenty on offer to eat and drink as you relax and take in the goings on.
The event also pays tribute to the anniversary of the D-Day landings in World War II, with a special commemoration including a war re-enactment set in the grounds of St James' Church, which also features an impressive lone piper performance.
