The 2015 Stone Food & Drink Festival is set to offer even more for families this year with some great new attractions at Westbridge Park, including a circus big top with puppet shows, workshops and more.
Alongside old favourites like the demonstration kitchen, the Talks & Tastings Tent and stalls from 100 artisan producers, there are some exciting new additions to the festival’s ‘Little Foodies Zone’ on Festival Saturday and Sunday.
‘Professor Panic’, left, and his performers from Panic Circus will keep youngsters entertained with free puppet shows, circus workshops, clown shows and giant bubble fun in his traditional Circus Big Top. There will also be free kids’ cookery classes, a fun yet educational foodie ‘treasure trail’ around the festival site, craft activities and face painting.
Grown-ups, meanwhile, will not be disappointed, with packed demonstration and talks programmes and adults’ cookery masterclasses. Dining options are varied, from global ‘street food’ on the go to gourmet three-course meals, light lunches and classic afternoon teas in the pop-up restaurants, while the beer tent and elegant champagne and cocktail bar means there really is something for everyone.
With a great line-up of live bands set to keep crowds entertained over Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Westbridge Park once again looks set to be party central over the ‘big weekend’, while local businesses will be getting into the festival spirit for the whole week with a host of events and special offers.
Entry to Westbridge Park will cost £7 per person (accompanied under-16s free) or £15 for a three-day pass. To take advantage of discounts and a special ‘fast track’ lane to avoid queues, advance tickets can be booked at www.stonefooddrink.org.uk, where the full festival programme will also be available shortly.
