About the venue:
|
The countryside around Blackburn and Darwen is an original source for much of the distinctive and delicious food and drink famous across the world. The local produce boasts an amazing array of flavours unique to Pennine Lancashire. Choose from traditional Lancashire delicacies such as world famous black pudding, warming hot pot, sarsaparilla and beer!
The Barlow Institute itself is a red brick building in the centre of Edgworth Village built by Sir Thomas Barlow and his brothers and sisters in 1909 as a memorial to their parents and is frequently used by local clubs, societies and classes of all kinds.
