Cooking: Major New Food Festival Planned For June 2010
March 29, 2010
A new summer food event is being planned for June, The Richmond Food & Drink Festival.
The town will host a range of exciting activities, including an extensive producers market running along the riverside and activities taking place across the borough: a gourmet family picnic on the Terrace Gardens, tastings, demonstrations, celebrity chef talks and events in the restaurants and food shops of Richmond.
Patrons for the festival are local food heroes, Skye Gyngell from Petersham Nurseries, Paul Merrett, author, tv presenter and chef owner of the Victoria gastro pub and award winning chocolatier William Curley. The organisers of the event are a group of entrepreneurs with a passion for food including Melvyn Benn of Festival Republic and Phil Jones of the Manchester Food & Drink Festival.
Richmond Food & Drink Festival is going to be a very special event in one of the most attractive settings in the UK and is set to become a highlight of the British food calendar. Updates to follow.
1st – 6th June 2010 with the producers market over the weekend of 4th-6th June.
