Shrewsbury Food Festival

From Sat 27 Jun View Venues, Dates & Times

Shrewsbury Food Festival will host top chefs leading demonstrations, over 180 food, drink and home stalls, bars run by local drink producers, and street food with world cuisine. The event has been crowned ‘Festival of the Year’ at the West Midlands Tourism Awards for three consecutive years.

The organisers, Shropshire Festivals, pride themselves on offering great value for money with lots of free entertainment. Bands from all over the Midlands will play on the live music stage, and there will be musical performances on the bandstand all weekend. There is an educational Field to Fork area and a family entertainment area that will keep children busy with free activities, circus skills and rides. New this year will be a sports area where you can try out different activities to discover a new hobby.

This year’s chef lineup includes Nick Bennett from Old Downton Lodge, Stuart Collins from Docket Restaurant, Adam Purnell – The Shropshire Lad from Embers Café, Tat Effby – The Caketoonist, who has just released a new book: ‘Bake Your Sweet Time’, and James Sherwin from Wild Shropshire, who recently appeared on Great British Menu.

At the Teach and Taste Stage, you can sample food, as well as get hands-on experience preparing dishes. Shrewsbury Food Hub will be running this area to raise awareness of reducing food waste.
