Lancashire’s NEW Guided Food Hero Tours

Lancashire’s new food tourism initiative centred in the very beautiful Ribble Valley.

Our tours and events will give you access to many of our unique and wonderful local food and drink producers, many of which are featured in the award winning Ribble Valley Food Trail and beyond.

We take you to meet producers who only allow limited access to the general public or do not provide in depth tasting's and demonstrations to the casual visitor.

If you enjoy sourcing, buying, cooking and eating local produce, then come and take a look at what Lancashire’s NEW Food Hero Tours has discovered!

For an alternative day out come ‘up North’!

Grab some friends, family or colleagues and come and uncover some of Lancashire’s best kept food and drink secrets. Set amongst the rolling hills and pastureland of the beautiful Ribble Valley and the wild rugged fells of the Forest of Bowland, an area of outstanding natural beauty. You will be amazed as to the delicacies being produced and for whom!

Learn new skills and flavours in outstanding countryside

You may find yourself feeding calves or lambs, candling eggs, beekeeping, cheese making, or learning how to fillet fish, make butter, milk sheep, perhaps even try your hand at hedge laying!
