The popular Colne Food and Drink Festival is coming back at the end of the month.
On 26 July from 10am-4pm, dozens of traders will set up shop in Colne town centre, along with chef demonstrations, children’s crafts, amazing performers, circus acts and more.
The event is a collaboration between Come to Colne, Colne Business Improvement District (BID) and Independent Street.
Stalls already announced include Mugglestone Ltd (Biscuits and Brew), Doughnutz LTD – crafting exceptional doughnuts that bring joy & delight and Little Badger Cider – crisp, refreshing & handcrafted cider. There will be 50 artisan stalls in total.
That’s on top of the regular businesses on the high street who will of course be open and welcoming new and familiar visitors alike. Look for our ‘Food & Drink Map’ to help you trail your way through our large selection of fantastic local businesses.
One business ready for the day is ODDIE’S – A cherished cornerstone of our community for over 120 years. While now under new ownership, their passion for hand-crafted quality remains as strong as ever and are proud to continue the traditions that have made this bakery a local favourite for generations, while also expanding offerings with a delicious new range of savoury delights and indulgent sweets. Whether you’re hunting for the classics you love or eager to try something new, ODDIE’S are honoured to keep baking for you, just like always – only better.’
