A mouth-watering selection of food and drink will be on offer at next weekend’s A Taste of Chorley festival – with a raft of top outlets signing up to showcase their products.

The following are all now confirmed as taking part:

• The Humble Kitchen Company Limited

• Turkish Gozleme

More are expected to be added ahead of the festival, which returns after an enforced absence last year and promises to be a real celebration of local produce.

An exciting schedule is also being lined up for the demonstration kitchen in which talented local chefs, butchers and bakers will be showing off simple tasty recipes for people to do at home.

Meanwhile, the Great Chorley Bake Off is shaping up to be a hotly-contested affair, with bakers across the borough signing up to show-off their home made cakes, scones or breads. The competition is free to enter, but contestants need to pre-book a spot before 6pm on Friday 4 June.

Spaces are currently still available in each of the three categories: Professional, Adults (16+) and Under 16s. To register or get more information go to the website.
