Lancashire Day 27th November 2009
Queen to receive a huge hamper of Lancashire treats
to mark Lancashire Day.
Margaret and Gary Seddon, members of FORL, who run Homestead Farm Shop at Holmeswood, near Ormskirk are planning to send Her Majesty a hamper of Lancashire produced treats and luxuries to mark our County Day. When interviewed by Emma Mayoh for Lancashire Life, Margaret explained “With the Queen’s links to the area we thought it only right that she would be able to tuck into some Lancashire goodies on Lancashire Day.”
From Noon on Friday, Saturday & Sunday you can meet with suppliers of and sample fine Lancashire Fayre. On Friday spend an evening with Norman Prince (ex Houghton Weavers) and enjoy a 3 course meal. Phone 01704 821358 to book a ticket at £30. www.homesteadfarmsshop.co.uk
You can also win a Queen’s Hamper in the charity raffle.

Darwen Local History Society are launching their own 'Beef 'n' Ale Sausage' the 'Darwen Banger' in celebration of Lancashire Day, it will be sold from the 27th November through until the end of December and will only be available on Darwen Market. They have been collaborating with Turner's Butchers who are situated in the traditional market hall, Darwen. Turners have had a butchers stall there for over 50yrs, so what better way to promote Lancashire Day in Darwen. Darwen Local History Society has re-instated a Darwen town crier to read the proclamation and promote their 'Darwen Banger' beef 'n' ale sausage. They are hoping to make it a really historical event by using the original bellringer/town crier's bell, for the first time it will have been used for over 100yrs. Proclamation at 12:00 and again at 1:00 outside Darwen Market Hall, Croft St. They will be serving samples of our beef 'n' ale sausage in between. www.dlhs.co.uk
