Taste of Leyland 2022: When does the food and drink festival in Leyland start, what events will take place and when does it start?

A Taste of Leyland is a celebration of local and regional food, drink and live music, which will be held on Saturday, September 24 on Hough Lane from 11am to 5pm.

Providing a whole host of foodie stalls and activities, entertainment, and fun for the whole family, organisers say the daylong event will be bigger and better than ever this year.

Visitors can expect from the day: food and drink tasting, local produce, food and drink stalls, children's entertainment, live music, face painting, fairground rides and more.

There will also be a demonstration kitchen featuring local food businesses showcasing their recipes and skills and artisan produce as well as the opportunity to buy the products to take away and enjoy at home.

Councillor Paul Foster, Leader of South Ribble Borough Council, said: “I'm looking forward to seeing the popular event - A Taste of Leyland - return to the town centre in September promoting our excellent local food and drink businesses.

"This fantastic event will showcase local produce and offer cooking demonstrations as well as the opportunity to sample some tasty products.

"I encourage local businesses to join in to showcase their produce and everyone to come along to the event to have a great day out and enjoy the entertainment and some tasty food and drink offerings.

"Through events like this we aim to help support and promote local businesses and provide an attraction for residents and visitors from the wider northwest region to enjoy.”

Where and when is the Taste of Leyland food and drinks festival?
