Belthorn Village Heritage Weekend at The Dog Inn Community Pub
61 Belthorn Road, Belthorn, Blackburn, Lancashire, BB1 2NN
That’s about it really. Belthorn was a weaving and mining community - a small hilltop village once regarded as one of the most nefarious, unenlightened and sinful places around Blackburn with nine pubs! There will be village videos running, lots of photos and ephemera to see and members and locals around over the weekend available to chat. The free printed walk around this historic village, now much more peaceful, will be available. Come and enjoy the beautiful moors. The event takes place in the 18th century The Dog Inn, Lancashire’s first village owned community pub, so food and refreshments will be available from the bar or fantastic restaurant and coffee shop along with outdoor seating and stunning views to the coast from the rear taking in three Towers no less! Stairlift available to toilets.
