DELICIOUS local produce will be in the spotlight during a week of events highlighting the best of Bowland with foraging walks, feasting, cycle trails and food tours.

Feast Bowland is a celebration of local food producers, wild foods and the distinctive local dishes found across the area and will run from Sunday, September 17 to Sunday September, 24. It will also includes walks, bike rides, tours and foraging.

The Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty's sustainable tourism officer Hetty Byrne said: “This exciting week-long programme of events is a celebration of the landscape, producers, chefs and local delicacies from across the area. And we have so much locally distinctive produce that is worth celebrating."

There will also be several fringe events taking place during the week, provided by hospitality businesses, all members of the Forest of Bowland Sustainable Tourism network. The events are about discovering Bowland's bountiful, seasonal produce through experiences such as cheese making, bread making, foraging and supper clubs.
