Ramsbottom Pie Festival 2015

October 15, 2015 by Lee Leave a Comment

It’s here again, the Ramsbottom Pie Festival. One of my favourite of all Ramsbottom Festivals, mainly because I’m a pie lover.

Now in it’s third year the pie festival promises pies, pies, pies and cakes, and other things, but mostly pies.

See the event page here for some more information on what’s going on.

Whilst you’re there, if your event is not listed, or if you know of any events that are not listed, let me know and I’ll add them to the events page.

Here’s a couple of photos from last years festival:

Today I went to the “Race up the Rake” also known as the Rake Hill Climb and streamed the race. Sadly, the periscope stream lost about 45 minutes worth of footage, however if you were watching live, you’d have seen it all.

The Rake Hill Climb is a yearly event put together by the Lancashire Road club with £1000 for the winner.

The race starts just outside the library.

If it’s not windows breaking or walls leaking, it’s the threat of the whole place falling down. Laura has had more than her fair share of problems with her venture into creating a place she would love to eat right here in Ramsbottom.

When Laura moved to Ramsbottom almost 3 years ago, she immediately noticed a gap in the market when it came to catering to the Vegan and Raw crowd.

Being Vegan herself she was desperate to have somewhere nice to eat in Ramsbottom that suited her palate.

Great turn out for MacMillan Coffee Morning

October 2, 2015 by Lee Leave a Comment

Did you find time to get to Dundee United Reformed Church today to their MacMillan Coffee morning?

I walked into the room half expecting very few people despite the fact I could hear the hustle and bustle from just a short distance from the top of the wheelchair ramp leading in to Dundee United Reformed Church on Dundee Lane.

I was amazed at the turn out, the whole place was heaving, standing room only, which given this was all for MacMillan was amazing.

I paid my £2 and bought three strips of raffle tickets, one of each colour and made my way around the stalls at the outside of the room.
