Festival of the Year Returns to Shrewsbury Quarry
The award-winning two-day food festival returns with a full lineup of foodie, family fun on June 27th and 28th in the Quarry.
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.
Beth Heath, Director of Fun at Shropshire Festivals, said, “Join us for a day of foodie fun with friends and family – we’ll be showcasing the best producers in the region. You’ll uncover some wonderful products, drinks, and food to try, so come hungry.
“There’s something for everyone at Shrewsbury Food Festival, and there’s a reason why this event has been named ‘Festival of the Year’ in the West Midlands for the last three years running. We hope you’ll come and see it for yourself – good times are guaranteed!”
Shrewsbury Food Festival will take place on June 27th and 28th in the Quarry. Find out more and purchase tickets at www.shrewsburyfoodfestival.co.uk.
