Kerry Bennett Candles will be returning for the second year in a row to the annual Pontefract Liquorice Festival. We will be located on Market Row and have a variety of scented candles and wax melts for you to choose from! Make sure you stop by and ask us about our FREE wax melt samples!
Pontefract Liquorice Festival is back – and what a sweet treat it is! Get ready for a confectionary-themed bonanza celebrating Pontefract’s historic link with liquorice.

Pontefract Liquorice Festival is a firm family favourite with something for everyone including delicious street food and the chance to explore the speciality market – with many stalls offering liquorice themed products!

Enjoy the stage entertainment from community acts and top local talent, and watch out for the walkabout entertainment – can you spot Lucy Liquorice? Bringing the whole family? Kids will love the all-new kids’ zone on Cornmarket featuring exciting workshops, face painting, crafts and much more.

Make sure you stick around for the HARIBO-themed parade which will take place at 11:30am and 2:30pm in Corn Market. There will also be another performance at 1:30pm at Pontefract Castle.
