Wimborne will be celebrating ‘food, glorious food’ as the town hosts a brand new food festival on Saturday 14th September.
Save the date as this event promises to whet your appetite! The festival is being organised by a host of local businesses and will take place around the town between 11am and 4pm.
Locations already confirmed are Willow Walk, near Waitrose and East Street.
At Willow Walk, a marquee will host free food demos and talks from an array of foodie specialists and local businesses. There will also be deliciously tempting food stalls with samples to try before you buy.
East Street will be closed for the day to create a buzzy café culture with alfresco street dining, live music and food tastings.
There will also be a self-guided food walk route featuring many of the town's food outlets, organised by award-winning Salamander Cookshop. Eat your way around the town as you meet some of the wonderful specialist food retailers in Wimborne and get a flavour of what they are all about.
This new Food Festival is being sponsored by Wimborne BID. Tammy Sleet, BID Manager said: “This great idea has come from some businesses in the town who are working hard to make this happen.
“There are so many opportunities for the wonderful eateries and food outlets in our town to still get involved and we would love to hear from more businesses with their ideas.”
