On the day town centre traders will be taking part in a hot pot competition with visitors taking part being the judges.

Gary Hall, Chief Executive of Chorley Council, said “A taste of Chorley will be a fantastic event to not only showcase the fantastic food businesses and producers we have in the borough, but will also offer some great ideas of simple but tasty recipes.

“The day promises to be a great family day with lots to see do and taste, professional chefs will be demonstrating their cooking skills and people will have the chance to taste the dishes.
