Love Food? Don’t miss Shipston’s Food Festival

Building on the success of last year’s inaugural event, Shipston Food Festival is back – and this time it promises to be even bigger and better than before.

The organisers are delighted to welcome Hook Norton Brewery as a sponsor for the 2014 Food Festival weekend.[nbsp] The family-owned business has been brewing beer in the Cotswolds for over 150 years and was keen to get involved with the event.

Festival Chairman, Dan Scobie, said: “We created the festival to provide a platform for local food and drink related business to promote themselves within the local community, and as a celebration of all things local.[nbsp] It’s therefore fantastic to have such a well-loved local brewery as a supporter of the festival.[nbsp] This support means we can build a bigger and more successful festival for 2014.”

The Shipston Food Festival weekend runs from 19th[nbsp]to 21st[nbsp]September 2014, with the main event taking place in the town square on the Sunday.

The Shipston Beer Festival takes place on 19th[nbsp]at Shipston Rugby Club, with family fun from 4pm, followed by live music and a range of homemade curries in the evening.

Baking and food related competitions will take place on the 20th at the Townsend Hall as part of the Creative Arts Weekend – see next month’s Forum for more details.

The square will once again be filled with stalls offering delicious treats and exciting workshops from 10am on Sunday 21st – an event not to be missed. For more information, visit[nbsp]www.shipstonfoodfestival.co.uk[nbsp]or call Dan Scobie on 07771 772511.
