Welcome to Pontefract Liquorice Festival!

Well its that time of year again and today and tomorrow, Pontefract celebrates the national Liquorice Festival. Today at the Castle and tomorrow in the Market Place.

Well worth a look, I have just come back from watching a display by the Holderness Vikings who give a cracking recreation of our local Viking History, there will be a falconry display, knights and ladies and the craft market is great fun.

I also had chance to see the replanted Culpepper Herb Garden in the Castle Grounds visit the stall full of first rate local produce put on by local Swanhill based business Vegetable Patch and of course the opportunity to sample some of Tomlinsons Liquorice Stout.

Tomorrows event should be great fun. See you there?

Incidentally the Knottingley Carnival today is well worth a visit.
