Annual Victorian themed, Pontefract Liquorice Festival week
Sunny Saturday in the Valley park Pontefract had stalls and entertainments
for all the family. A very busy day with visitors from as far away as
Russia, and Norfolk! ..Being addressed as 'Duck' and 'Luv' in
the sunshine of this very friendly town was all part of an experience
one will have to do again! ... A great day was enjoyed by everyone
and an opportunity to try free samples of REAL Liquorice of all sorts
and original Pontefract Cakes, then take home their very own
Liquorice plant in a pot, at the end of the day. Want one for yourself? Email
