Telfood Feastival is taking place at Telford’s outdoor QEII arena on 30 and 31 July and you could win one of five pairs of tickets.
More than 130 of Britain’s best food producers and nearly a dozen top regional chefs will descend on the QEII Arena based within Telford Town Park, voted the UK’s best park, and close to the new multi-million pound Southwater development.
Featuring an array of food and drink stalls and demonstrations from the region’s best chefs, the Telfood Feastival will also be host to lots of free activities, including a live music stage, talks, tastings and crafts. Children won’t be disappointed either, as they will be able to get hands-on in the cookery area and learn circus skills in the huge big top.
The event is being organised by Shropshire Festivals, the organisers of the hugely popular Shrewsbury Food Festival, which is now in its fourth year and attracts over 26,000 visitors.
One of the chefs attending the event is Suree Coates from Brosley’s King and Thai. Suree has been named amongst the UK’s best Curry and best Thai Chefs and her restaurant has just been named best in the region with a listing in the prestigious Good Food Guide.
Also on the bill is Stuart Phillips from The Hundred House, Norton, winner of a latetooms.com Best Kept Secrets Award and Lesley Keever and Abbi Lycett from The Grove in Walcot, currently number one on Tripadvisor for places to eat in Telford.
There are also loads of great producers joining the event including top farm shops Greenfields and Apley Farm; Telford based Shropshire Ice cream, Haughton Honey, Powells Pies from Whitchurch and locals Natural Game. They will be joined by a number of food vendors, with visitors able to try everything from African dishes to French food served out of a converted horsebox, while Ironbridge Catering will be bringing along their BIG American school bus for the weekend.
There will be a whole section of the festival and talks dedicated to ‘free from’ foods. Gone are the days when this category covered Gluten free and was seen as a lifestyle choice. With many of us placing more emphasis on the health benefits of food, Telfood will be looking at sugar free, dairy free and vegan too.
Director of Shropshire Festivals, Beth Heath, said: “This is the first time that Telford has staged an event like this so we do hope people come and support it.
“Telford is a vibrant place to visit and its recent and continuing growth means it’s an excellent place to host a food and drink festival, and I’m extremely excited to bring the Telfood Feastival to the borough.”
