THE winners of the 1940s-themed trail held as part of the 2025 #AmazingAccrington Food and Drink Festival have been announced.

Charlie Semple scooped first place, winning a £50 voucher for Café Ri-An in Accrington, followed by Tilly Crawshaw in second place, who received a £30 voucher.
Isaac Evans won third place and a £20 Café Ri-An voucher.
The competition saw children under 12 eagerly searching for five hidden secret words placed at various businesses and displays throughout Accrington.
The secret keywords were hidden at A Bit O'Summat on Whalley Road, Café Ri-An on Stanley Street, Argos on Blackburn Road, a Second World War Airborne Jeep on display in Accrington Town Centre, and the North Lancs Training Group (NLTG) stand on Broadway.
