Ramsbottom Whisky Company launches

October 29, 2015 by Lee Leave a Comment

What comes to mind when you think of Ramsbottom?

An amazing food destination?
A buzzing community with great people?
Fantastic scenery with Peel Tower?

How about Whisky?!

No?

Well, that might be about to change as Ramsbottom now has it’s very own Whisky business called Ramsbottom Whisky Company.

It’s not quite clear yet if the Whisky is being distilled in Ramsbottom itself, however the joint venture between several members of Ramsbottom including Stuart Rothwell of The Vineyard has attracted attention of local Whisky drinkers regardless.

When Lysha Holmes moved to Ramsbottom 11 years ago, not only did she not know that she was pregnant with her first child Issy, but that just one year later she would create her own very successful business.

Qui Recruitment has been established since 2005 and has recently celebrated its 10 year anniversary.

When Lysha first started Qui from her kitchen on Albert Street after recently becoming a Mum, she quickly realised that she wanted to spend more time with her young family.

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:

Rake Hill Climb 2015

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.
