00:00Hi, my name is Sam Quine, East Lancashire Reporter for the Lancashire Post, and I'm
00:11here in Clitheroe, as it's one of the many locations that will be hosting this year's
00:17Ribble Valley Taste Fest. The Ribble Valley Taste Fest is a week-long programme of events
00:23taking place from the 3rd to the 9th of August. The festival is said to be the real highlight
00:29of the foodie calendar, and it will highlight all the wonderful food and drink experiences
00:36in the Ribble Valley. Throughout the week will be events such as tasting experiences,
00:42brewery tours and visits to farms and food venues. Councillor David Birtwistle, Chair
00:49of Ribble Valley's Council Economic Development Committee, said the coming week promises to
00:55deliver the ultimate celebration of local produce and drink set among some of the most
01:01beautiful countryside in Britain. Artisan Ribble Valley will be showcasing a Lancashire
01:07menu from black pudding fritters to beef and garstang cheese pie daily, while Gisburn's
01:14La Locanda are challenging foodies with a guest ingredient gathering. Meanwhile, on
01:21Tuesday, the Emporium in Clitheroe hosts a kids' pizza workshop, and on Wednesday
01:27and Thursday, Boland and Bay are promising a culinary tour of the valley. Those looking
01:34to do a wine tour may opt to do a tour and taste at the Pendle Witch Distillery in Waddington
01:41on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. This week's activities will be rounded off by the official
01:48Clitheroe Food Festival, happening here right behind me, on Saturday which will see stalls
01:55and food vendors dotted throughout the town centre.
