The food and culture festival takes place across the Hyndburn, Ribble Valley, Rossendale, Burnley and Pendle districts. If it’s summer in Pennine Lancashire, it’s festival time – and food lovers can experience extraordinary adventures as the area once again celebrates its fantastic food and culture. In four short years, the Pennine Lancashire Festival of Food & Culture has become a main feature of the regional events calendar, with more than 150,000 people experiencing this colourful annual carnival to date.

The Army Cadet Force is one of the UK’s oldest, largest and most successful youth organisations. They develop young people physically and mentally, improving self-confidence, teamwork, friendship and leadership. They welcome cadets of all abilities and backgrounds and aim to instill in their cadets a strong sense of community. As well as improving all manner of skills, activities are adventurous and fun. Cadets learn self-sufficiency in the field, how to handle arms, camouflage and concealment, and how to survive in the wild with only a sleeping bag and some army rations.
