All the glitz and glamour of the Oscars came to the Fence Gate Inn, for Pendle's first ever business awards.
A total of 250 people packed into the Fence venue for the prestigious event, organised to recognise and reward the best of Pendle's high-achieving businesses.
Almost 80 companies responded to an invitation from the Mayor of Pendle to be rewarded for their hard work and dedication.
Coun. Allan Buck came up with the idea of the awards. He was thrilled with the response and especially the variety of professions that showed interest.
He said: "We have a lot of very successful enterprises here in Pendle that deserve recognition and I felt this was an ideal way to do it.
"We had a fantastic night. Everyone looked to thoroughly enjoy themselves, whether they were up for an award or there just to support someone who was."
The atmosphere was electric. There were screams of delight, rapturous applause and some genuinely very surprised people.
