Fab Food Festivals

This year we are determined to go to some local and national food festivals so need to get planning them in the diary. At this time of year it always seems like the summer is a long stretch of endless weekends but we all know how quickly they can zoom by or get swallowed up with just doing stuff.

There are loads of foodie festivals across the country both large and small attracting foodie enthusiasts, outdoor types and families alike. I've been researching a few so below is a list of some I've found but as yet, until we go ourselves we can’t comment on which are the best so during this summer we’ll do our best to get to a few and report back.

Just make sure you check some the dates as some of these may have been provisional when I listed them. Also it’s always worth checking out County shows too as they all have some fab foodie tents of local produce.
