~Do you remember that glowing warm radiant ball in the sky? The sun. Do you remember days spent with friends, eating and drinking late at night and it was still light? The summer.
I’m sure you’d agree those two aspects of the best season of the year seem like a long time ago and still a long time to come back. Thankfully in these dire winter months of rain, rain, rain and more rain there is an exciting summer prospect coming to the North West next July.
On the 6th, 8th and 9th July 2016 Clitheroe Castle on behalf of The Grand will showcase a spectacular three day event which will consist of live music, food and drink and exceptional good times with friends, family and loved ones.

Simply Red have recently experienced a comeback with this years ‘Big Love’ record which is an excellent return to form and includes hit single, the funk and soul inspired ‘ Shine on’ .
