Tideswell Food Festival returns with more than 50 stalls selling food from around the world
The ever popular Tideswell Food Festival returns and there will be more than 50 stalls lining the historic streets bringing tastes from around the world to the Peak District.
The event is back on Saturday, May 2 10am to 4pm and there will also be live music and street entertainment throughout the day.
Entry is free and so is parking, with donations going to the local Scouts.
One of the organisers, Jules Fell, said “We are delighted to announce Tideswell’s famed food festival is returning once again. The streets of our historic village are set to be lined with over 50 stalls selling a wide range of locally produced food, both fresh, hot street food to eat on the day, and delicious goods to take home. Tideswell is a beautiful village, with plenty of pretty places to sit and enjoy a picnic of freshly-bough produce.”
Tideswell food festival began in 2011 as a celebration of the range and quality of local food on offer in the Peak District. Its popularity has seen the festival grow year-on-year.
Live music, singing and dance from local talent will also entertain visitors throughout the day. Local traders throw open their doors and include a a bakery, wool shop and dying studio, fresh fruit and veg and a fabulous second-hand bookshop. In addition, the local café, Tideswell Lounge, Cherry Tree takeaway café and a number of friendly pubs and shops will be open, making this day one of the top Summer events for Peak District visitors and locals.
Jules said: “The wonders continue indoors too, with the village’s famous church, known as the “Cathedral of the Peak” housing an artisan Makers’ Market, with work from dozens of local artists and craftspeople on sale from jewellery and ceramics to knitwear and paintings.”
The Tideswell Food Festival organising team is putting emphasis on reducing the carbon footprint of the event.
Traders are requested to use recyclable and compostable containers and keep waste to a minimum.
Jules added: “We want everyone to come and enjoy the most fabulous day, for the traders to come away happy and to highlight the wonders of Tideswell to all those who do not already know what a great place it is.”
