Accrington Hosts Two Summer Festivals This June
Accrington is the place to be this June, with two fantastic community events bringing fun, food, and sustainability to the town centre – and both easily accessible by rail!
Saturday 7th June – Accrington Food & Drink Festival
From 10am onwards, the town centre will be buzzing with over 80 food and drink stalls, live cookery demos, a traditional fairground, and a flypast by a Douglas C47 Dakota. It’s a great day out for the whole family – and it’s free to attend. Find out more: Amazing Accrington Food Festival 2025
