Save the date! First details announced for popular free-to-attend Fox Valley Food Festival
28 March 2024
Foodie fans are being urged to save the date as the first details for this year’s popular Fox Valley Food Festival can be announced.
The free to attend event, which draws thousands of visitors every year, will once again take place this summer at Fox Valley shopping centre on Saturday, June 15, and Sunday, June 16.
The eighth edition of the festival will include over 50 food and drink traders, two days of live music, children’s rides, free face painting, street entertainment, a bar area, family seating, special offers and prizes up for grabs across the weekend.
Pet lovers will also be pleased to hear that there will also be a puppy patch with agility area and themed dog-friendly refreshments.
In addition, we can also reveal for the first time some of the specialist food and drink stallholders set to attend the festival.
These include Mangiamo Street Kitchen offering pasta and gourmet sandwiches, Istanbul Kitchen serving up Turkish kebabs, Devon’s Kitchen with their delicious Jamaican food and Alvi’s Homemade Indian meals and snacks.
4eyes Patisserie will also be joining the line up with a tempting display of artisan breads, cakes, kronuts, pastries and savoury rolls and as well as Cookie Smith with their homemade cookies, cookie pies and brownies.
Providing the drinks for thirsty visitors will be the award-winning Bradfield Brewery with their wide selection of real ales and Sheffield Distillery with gin, vodka and premixed cocktails on offer.
This is the first line-up announcement and many more will be revealed closer to the event date, including the live music acts.
The event drew a huge crowd of 16, 000 people across the whole weekend last year – and the centre is still on the lookout for a headline sponsor for the event.
The headline sponsor will benefit from excellent exposure in front of thousands of people across the two days. The sponsor will also benefit from inclusion in promotional materials, such as banners and flyers in the lead up to the event.
Claire Biltcliffe, Centre Manager at Fox Valley, said: “If you love your food and enjoy having a good time with friends and family then the Food Festival is a must-attend event.
“We have some fantastic food and drink traders in the area and this provides the perfect opportunity to celebrate all of those talented traders. There really is something for everyone at the event.
“A lot of work goes into planning the event throughout the year and we are delighted with the line up so far.
“But if there are any traders out there who would like to take part, or any businesses interesting in becoming our headline sponsor for the event, then please get in touch.”
