The responses from exhibitors has been amazing and everyone is looking forward to being able to attend what is certain to be a brilliant and successful event.“With live music and entertainment, children’s activities and of course the delicious local food and drink, the Fylde Coast Food and Drink Festival is the perfect event by the seaside for all the family to enjoy.”
