TV Chef, Rosemary Shrager will conduct a live cooking demonstration and talks for members of the public at Wimborne Community Garden during the Wimborne Folk Festival, Dorset, on Saturday 7 June, to raise awareness for food poverty across the south of England.
Rosemary’s appearance at Wimborne Folk Festival marks a brief pause in her ‘Two Wheels for Meals’ challenge, which will see Rosemary embark on a gruelling 450-mile cycle ride from Land’s End in western Cornwall to the White Cliffs of Dover in east Kent to help raise funds and awareness for food poverty charities.
All monies raised through the sale of items from the food, drinks and plant stands at the cooking demonstration will be donated to the Two Wheels for Meals challenge, which is being organised by Hendy Foundation, the independent charity arm of the Hendy Group car dealer business.
Festival attendees will be able to attend Rosemary’s live cooking demonstration at Wimborne Community Garden, School Lane, Wimborne, BH21 1HQ. Guests are welcome to enjoy food, entertainment and a plant sale when the garden opens at 14:00 pm, with the demonstration starting at 16:00 pm. Rosemary will focus on how to create delicious yet affordable store-cupboard meals, and those joining the sessions will be able to sample the dishes prepared and donate towards Two Wheels for Meals.
74-year-old Rosemary hopes her mighty Two Wheels for Meals challenge will raise at least £100,000 for Hendy Foundation, which will allocate 100% of all monies raised to local food poverty and food welfare charities across the south of England.
Rosemary will start her epic two-wheel expedition on Sunday 1 June at Land’s End in Cornwall and aims to finish at The White Cliffs of Dover by Wednesday 18 June.
