Pontefract Festival!

The Pontefract Liquorice Festival, a two day showcase of culinary and artistic delights to do with all things liquorice and Pontefract, is taking place in the Yorkshire town this weekend (16-17 July).

If you have shockwave flash, you can see what it is all about here.

Regretfully, I can't go (we are moving house soon—again!—and in the meantime have to line up visits to several relatives). I'll be sad to miss such highlights as the world's first pork & liquorice pie!
