The Towcester Food Festival is an event I have always wanted to go to, and this year we set a date and went! It was held at the great venue of Towcester Racecourse, so coupled with lovely views, it was a fantastic festival.
There were long rows of covered stalls, all manned by talented local food producers, ranging from organic vegetable boxes, cheese, gin and cider (of which there was much tasting, hic!) gourmet marshmallows, couture cakes and everything in between. There was also a fantastic mix of food vans covering many different types of cuisines from award winning Cornish seafood to south african and Jamaican. We were completely spoilt for choice and it was lovely to see so many people supporting local businesses, despite the fact it was a little grey and overcast.
A range of marquees and food tents were set against the butter yellow of Towcester Racecourse
Colourful chalkboards were all the rage, with some fantastic artwork to go alongside the delicious sounding dishes
Stylish industrial lighting sat against vintage props for an inviting stall
Award winners from all over the country were serving their food
We came away with a delicious flagon of cider and a selection of scrummy pies, perfect for a relaxed Sunday dinner
Sweet and shopping: Gourmet marshmallows and decorated cakes, plus a leaflet for the Heart of the Shires shopping village, another place I have added to my list of places to visit
Alcohol, savouries and crafts: I loved the artwork from The Wiltshire Liqueur Company, but my favourite had to be the taste of Warner Edwards delicious sloe gin
Supported by South Northamptonshire Council, it was great to read about and see in evidence the small businesses and producers that are flourishing in our region
