I'd just like to point out that last year Darwen had Mushroom Hunts in Sunnyhurst, several events at Turton Tower and much more. Prior to that the villages of Tockholes and Edgworth as well as the Town centre had lots of events. If you would like a brochure from 2006, 2007 and 2008 to confirm Darwen's activity i will happily supply one. The town was not shafter as you so politely put it. |
Re: Pennine Lancashire Food Festival
There are booklets on every table about the events, in the scrumptious Over Coffee.

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. |
