There is a food and drink revolution taking place in Rossendale. As more visitors come to the Valley, new food and drink businesses have sprung into life to meet their needs. Over the last 5 years or so, the number of food and drink businesses in Rossendale has more than doubled.
Valley at Work, Rossendale’s business association, believes that the time is right to celebrate the quality and diversity of our food business community. The result is this food and drink guide.
A WONDERFUL project that provides hundreds of children with exciting opportunities in the holidays has transformed in nine months.
From its original base in a single Rawtenstall primary school, the not-for-profit organisation Wonderful Things was set up as a stand alone company last September.
Valley at Work was established in 2007 to help connect businesses within the Rossendale area.
