When you consider that the opening year (2005 I think it was), so many of the events were based in and around Darwen, recent years have seen less and less events in the town. The food market, for example, disappeared after the first 2 years, despite being well attended and supported.
I really enjoyed the first couple of years of the event, but in recent years more and more events have been moved away from the original centre. I still believe that Darwen was shafted, whether that is politely put or not!
Oh, and Turton, Tockholes and Edgworth are not in Darwen, as I guess you already know.
