THE best of the Red Rose county was on display at the Lancashire Telegraph’s “Taste of Lancashire “ exhibition at the Dunkenhalgh Hotel, Clayton-le-Moors.

Following on from Lancashire Day last week, businesses from throughout the county manned more than 60 stalls, selling traditional foodstuffs, hand crafted products and gifts, tea, shoes and handbags.

Blackburn town centre partnership chairman Philip Ainsworth said: “It was a great celebration of everything Lancashire has to offer, and a brilliant opportunity to buy Christmas presents!”

The event was sponsored by Mercury Hotels, Fraser Eagle, Lookers Vauxhall, the Blackburn-based GM Group and Towneley Garden Centre in Burnley.
