Lea Hough are proud to once again be supporting Blackburn Beer Festival; a three day charity fundraising event in aid of Blackburn Youth Zone. The festival, which takes place over the May Day Bank Holiday weekend, is to be held at Blackburn Rugby Club and will feature over 60 ales, beers and ciders along with live entertainment and a variety of fresh food stalls.
Lea Hough Chartered Surveyors have supported the event for the previous three years since its inception in 2014 and this year will be sponsoring the Elderflower Blonde, brewed by award-winning Saltaire Brewery is in Shipley. Described as a refreshing blonde ale infused with the delicate flavour of elderflower, we’ll be sure to enjoy a tipple or two of our ale over the course of the event, which runs from Friday 28th to Sunday 30th April.
The event, now in its fourth year, also features a host of live entertainment in the form of local artists and bands over its three days. With tickets costing just £5 per day, the festival is always hugely popular – last year raising over £20,000.
Paul Dignan, Chartered Surveyor at Lea Hough commented:
“We’re delighted to be part of Blackburn Beer Festival again this year. It’s always a great weekend and it’s hoped this year’s festival will raise even more for Blackburn Youth Zone. With our firm’s close connections to Blackburn, an area where we undertake a great deal of work and have had an office for over 30 years, we are proud to be able to support this event and of course the Youth Zone – an inspirational and much needed facility for the young people of the city.”
Blackburn Youth Zone is a 21st century youth hub located in the heart of Blackburn open to young people aged 8 to 18 years old. Offering up to 20 activities each evening, the centre, which is open 7 days a week, relies on charitable donations and the support of the local business community to provide these activities and services for the low entrance fee of just 50p.
