Pendle Beer Festival

Join us for a fascinating tour of outstanding beers from all Around the Counties of Great Britain. With an eclectic range of real ales and ciders from Cornwall to the Highlands, Norfolk to Pembrokeshire, there’s sure to be something that hits the spot!
Over 100 real ales will be available to sample, and judging by last year's excellent attendance, people appreciate the care and attention CAMRA volunteers give to serving beer in tip top form. We'll have our usual range of real ciders and perries, a fine selection of KeyKeg craft beer for your delectation (find out more about KeyKeg beer) - and for the first time a gin bar complete with garnishes!
Locals and visitors alike will be pleased to know Pendle Leisure Trust have made The Muni Theatre in Colne available once more, and we intend to ensure that everyone who comes enjoys the event and supports the Pendleside Hospice fund-raising events we have planned.

We hope to see you at the 16th Pendle Beer Festival!

Clitheroe Triathalon

The Clitheroe Triathlon is a challenging course set in the Ribble Valley. It starts with a 400m pool swim, but the real fun starts on the bike as the 30k ride is ‘lumpy’ and includes the climb up Birdy Brow, onto Longridge Fell. The run is relatively flat compared the the bike ride, it’s 8k out and back on road and should be enough to make you feel happy about reaching the finish line. We get a lot of novices taking part in this event, but it is more challenging than some of our other sprint triathlon events. Don’t let that put you off, it’s an EPIC day out

Ribble Valley Jazz Festival.

The 11th annual Ribble Valley Jazz & Blues Festival hits the streets of Clitheroe and resounds around the valleys on the 1st, 2nd & 3rd May.
It showcases the very best of Jazz in all it's genres and brings together performers from across the world to the pubs, clubs restaurants and venues in and around Clitheroe. The magnificent Grand Theatre is the focus for most of the headline acts. Previous years (take a look here...) we've seen stars such as Jacqui Dankworth, Liane Carroll, Soft Machine, Claire Martin, James Taylor, Courtney Pine, Dennis Rollins, Snake Davis, Stacey Kent, Arun Ghosh and many, many more. In fact each year we have over 500 performers mainly from the brass, drum, swing and big bands we bring together for our Saturday Street Festival, Sunday picnic at Holmes Mill and our grand finale on bank holiday Monday.

Beat Herder 2020

Way back in 2006, the first Beat-Herder was hot. Hot like hotknives. The land was baked like a biscuit and 1200 people came, enjoyed and partied really hard. There were fewer areas back then. Toil Trees was the epicentre of the throng. We had a tiny stage in the main field; there was Trailer Trash, there was Colin (Still the best Reggae tent of the Northern hemisphere), a witch tent, a naked sauna and couple of hippy food stalls. Since then...a colossal creation of some 16 additional areas for music, 14 bars, 40 + stalls, fairgrounds... the list goes on. Mother Beat-Herder has been busy.
