❤️ A HUGE THANK YOU! ❤️

A massive thank you to everyone who came along and supported our Food & Drinks Festival! We hope you all had a fantastic day! 🎶🍔🥤

We would also like to say a very special thank you to Bolsover District Council for helping us spread the word and get our event out there, your support has been amazing! 👏

A huge thank you to The National Lottery Heritage Fund for their continued support. Without their funding, events like this simply wouldn’t be possible, and we are incredibly grateful. 💚

Of course, we couldn’t have done it without our wonderful stallholders, traders, volunteers and staff. Thank you for giving up your time, bringing your businesses to our site and helping make the day such a success! 🥰

And finally, THANK YOU to every single person who came through our gates. Your support helps us continue to preserve Pleasley Pit, our heritage and our beautiful site for future generations. ⛏️🖤

We truly appreciate every bit of support. We couldn’t do it without you! ❤️
