eat:Portishead food festival Spring Edition Sunday 26 April from 10-4pm all around Portishead Marina, free to attend, family-friendly and accessible to all… Join us for a delicious day out celebrating great local and regional producers most from within a 30 mile radius. We are putting on a cracking one-day festival that is low cost for the producers to attend – meaning that money goes straight back into local businesses and their communities; well publicised; good fun; well run and with lots of variety. eat:Festivals is a not-for-profit social enterprise that aims to connect communities with the productive landscape that surrounds them, which is good for local business, food producers and for families.

You can expect to find over 100 food & drink makers including local bakers, farmers, brewers, orchardists, roasters and Street Food. Free to attend with plenty of entertainment and activities to join in. Choices for the whole family - accessible, inclusive, inspiring. Always with a wide range including gluten free, vegan, vegetarian and alcohol free food and drinks. It’s a free day out and a chance to meet friends whilst discovering something new. If you want to have a bit more elbow room, to get the pick of the produce, we recommend you arrive early!
