Residents of a Scottish town that has been declared the 'ancestral home' of the film Local Hero have announced a festival celebrating its 40th anniversary
Residents of a Scottish town that has been declared the "ancestral home" of the film Local Hero have announced a festival celebrating its 40th anniversary.
The Local Hero festival will take place over 21 days, and will feature a number of activities honouring the cult classic. Among the headliner events will be a “National Rabbit Pie Bake Off”, as well as an "immersive Northern Light experience with a free public display". The event is being organised by local resident and chef Andrew Mellon, who hopes it will "bring the whole community together" and "rescue" the town's reputation following a decline in the number of retailers in recent years.
Meanwhile, there will be "Local Hero themed menus" at restaurants, bistros, and cafes in the area, while Banff shops will offer "Local Hero discounts" to visitors. Additionally, there will be a "Local Hero Farmers and Makers Market" with an emphasis on locally made and sourced produce.
