BERWICK SLOW FOOD FESTIVAL
4th & 5th SEPTEMBER 2021
Now in its 14th Year, the Berwick Food Festival is a must for anyone interested in great tasting regional food. It is being organised by Berwick Slow Food and, as usual, will be held within the magnificent surroundings of the towns 18th Century Barracks. This year, due to the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, there will be no beer festival or marquee outside the barracks. However some beer producers will have market stalls where bottles, cans, etc. will be available to purchase for home consumption only. In recognition of this reduced offer there will be no entrance fee for visitors to the festival throughout the festival
There is something for everyone over the weekend. In addition to over 50 stalls of the finest local and regional produce and beers, we are hoping that there will be cookery demonstrations, an animal farm and live music. The youngsters will not be left out, with free of charge activities in the children's area which will host a Foraging and Art Workshop. The children will be provided with eco-cotton back-packs on which they can print pictures of food items and learn the rules of safe foraging. These back-packs will contain recipes and a map showing local foraging sites and may be taken home
Whether you want to shop for local goodies, eat the best in delicious regional street food or listen to local musicians, you will find it all at The Berwick Food Festival. With so much to do why not book into one of the local accommodation providers and make a weekend out of it
This year our local business support team will co-ordinate an exciting programme of 'fringe' activities. This will involve local bars, restaurants and music venues, and will generate a festival atmosphere throughout the town.
Our website will be updated as the programme develops.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOMING YOU TO THIS YEAR'S FREE FOOD FESTIVAL
