The first ever Wessex Food Festival is on its way in September this year! They already have over 40 amazing local food and drink producers booked to attend the show and more are coming on board every minute. They anticipate having over 60 stall holders at the Festival selling some of the finest produce the region has to offer.
The Festival is taking place at Weymouth's Pavilion Complex over the weekend of 15-16th of September, and will be open from 10am - 5pm both days. During the course of the weekend there will be live cookery and wine tasting demos by some brilliant local chefs and experts, as well as lots of other fun activities.
This year they have decided to raise money for the Purbeck Isle Memorial Fund, to help the families of 3 local fishermen that were lost off the coast of Portland in May. 10% of the entry fee takings will be going to the fund and there will be collection points at the festival for people to make donations.
The entry fees are:
- £2.50 for adults
- £2.00 for concessions,
- Children (under 16) get in for FREE!
It's a great cause so I hope to see you all there enjoying some wonderful local Dorset produce! For any more info, check out their website
