Welcome...

The success of this event grows each year. 2012 promises to offer even more inspiration to food lovers, children and everyone who just loves to know where their food comes from, how it’s produced, how it tastes, how to grow and how to cook it. So, if you are passionate about food then make sure this date is in your diary!

That’s why the Fantastic Food Show is much more than just a festival or farmer’s market. There’s more to see, to taste, to take part in and to learn. And at the end of the day…you can head for home with bags full of local food and freshness!
