Crowds descended on Rochdale Town Hall this weekend for Rochdale Food & Drink Festival - staged for the second time on Saturday, with stalls, live cooking, star chefs, bars, workshops, family entertainment and music.
An artisan market, showcasing some of the best food and drink producers in the North West, is set to bring a taste of something different to Rochdale town centre.
The £16m redevelopment of Rochdale’s grade I listed town hall has taken a major step forward, with the appointment of an award-winning architecture firm to take forward its restoration.
They’re not television stars or best-selling cookery authors, but two Rochdale chefs - Austin Hopley and Adolfus Lewis are preparing to put their culinary skills to the test in front of a live audience for the very first time at the town’s food and drink festival.
An exciting programme of events is being delivered by Rochdale Borough Council to provide a boost to residents and businesses as well as attracting thousands of visitors from across the region.
