You can expect to find over 100 food & drink makers including local bakers, farmers market and deli favourites, 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.
