Ramsbottom Cllr Claire Cummings said: “The festival will also be a showcase for our local shops.

“We have so many fabulous local businesses, from the vineyard to boutiques and all the food offerings, and of course our own famous chocolate café.”

Halloumi fries, crepes, churros, cheesecake and fudge are just a few of the foods available.

Willy Wonka will also be making a special appearance and children will have the chance to find a golden ticket.
