Visit Bolton this Weekend and a Reminder - Blog Hop Tomorrow

We had to go into Bolton today and what a surprise we got.  We had forgotten that the August BH weekend is always given over to the Food Festival.  Well, for the past 10 years that is.  We were amazed at how it has grown so we had to sample some of the food on offer at the various stalls - what decisions!!

Anyway, if you are anywhere near I suggest you get yourself down to the town and see for yourself. Here is a bit of blurb I have got from the information leaflet we picked up. (sorry for the quality on here, hope you can read it, can't make them bigger or I lose half the info)



The little ones haven't been forgotten


Live Music!


Street Entertainment



We heard a few times on the loudspeakers that Sean Wilson (Martin Platt, Coronation Street) was demo'ing this afternoon and there are others:  Tom Gardner, Luis Troyano, May Wakefield, Andrew Nutter, Russell Brown, Jon Jones, Michael Harrison, Anthony Prince, Kate Robinson, Jackie Kearney, Alain Job, Andrew Parker, Phil & Omar, Chris Yates, Nick Cullen, Simon Wood  Steven Halsall.  Think these are free demonstrations.  On Saturday, (these are ticketed) you can see Lisa Faulkner in action and on Sunday it is John Torode finally finishing off with on the Monday - James Martin (sigh).

Shame I can't go down on Sunday but I will be at Leigh Show with the Minc, which reminds me, we have the Blog Hop for Oyster Stamps starting tomorrow HERE!  Anyway, what I was going to say was why not combine your half day ticket with a morning at the Food Festival or just stay for the morning at the Leigh Show and visit Bolton Centre in the afternoon.  Best of both worlds!

Here's a sneak peek for tomorrow
