A free one-day festival of Lancashire food and drink producers that takes over Clitheroe's town-centre streets in August.

For one Saturday in August, Clitheroe closes its main streets to traffic and fills them with stalls from local and award-winning Lancashire food and drink producers, from dairy and traditional meats to handmade pies.

Local musicians play through the day, and the council expected over 25,000 visitors in 2026. Entry is free and a park and ride is provided for visitors coming by car.
