Clitheroe’s popular food extravaganza is set to return in August
Ribble Valley Borough Council has announced that this year’s Clitheroe Food Festival will take place on August 8, 2026.
The popular festival, which is organised by Ribble Valley Borough Council, attracts around 25,000 visitors to Clitheroe town centre, and this year’s event will round off a week of food events being held throughout the borough from August 1, 2026, to August 7, 2026, as part of the Ribble Valley Taste Fest.
Clitheroe Food Festival features some of the region’s best food and drink from around 100 exhibitors, along with a feast of family-friendly fun and a huge dollop of street entertainment. The Ribble Valley Taste Fest also features a series of themed walks, food-making demonstrations and tasting sessions at farms and food venues throughout the borough.
“The festival has grown year-on-year, and last year attracted around 25,000 people to Clitheroe town centre, which is a phenomenal achievement,” Ribble Valley Council leader Simon Hore said.
“The council has created a strong narrative around local food and drink over the years, and visitors are invited to save the date for a feast of top produce, family fun and a warm Ribble Valley welcome,” Hore finished.
