As time goes by the excitement is building up.

 

The team are rearing to go for this years fifth Festival.

 

On Sunday June 16th, we will be up and running from 6.00am for a 10:30 start.

We will set up nearly one hundred stalls  selling top quality local produce and serving up a fabulous selection of global street food.

See our ‘List of Traders’ page to find more about the stalls, and visit their websites to learn more about the culinary delights of local produce as well as savouries from all over the globe.

 

Street Entertinment

 

This year sees the return of the ever popular Woodlanders.

 

Nick Barns will be entertaining everyone with his magic throughout the day.

Watch this space for news of more exciting acts as their bookings are confirmed.

 

 

Calling all children! You can take part in the ‘Food Passport’ and start on a journey to discover new and exciting tastes, and new activities.

 

This activity for children is an exciting way for them to travel around the festival and try new and unusual food from around the world.

Look out for stalls displaying the Passport sign, they will have a taster plate with samples so when a new taste is savoured your passport will be ‘stamped’ with a special sticker.

 

When you return your completed passport you will rewarded with a little treat from the Food and Drink Festival Team, courtesy of Desne from Top Nosh.

 

 

 

We estimated about 10,000 visitors to Congleton on Festival Sunday 2012 and our aim was to make it a fun day for all the family as well as a fabulous Food and Drink market. We easily achieved that figure despite the morning downpours which we thought would put people off, but still visitors arrived, the weather cleared up and it became, once again, a really great day. The town centre was bursting with visitors, some having travelled many miles to join in the fun!
