Norfolk Food Festival 19 Sep - 4 Oct

Knives and forks at the ready! Norfolk is going to have a new event to celebrate its amazing food story - but it's up to you to make it a success.

The Eastern Daily Press and Bidwells have teamed up to create the Norfolk Food Festival 2009, a showcase promotion that will highlight our breadth of quality produce, our heritage of food production and their importance to our general well-being. For more details on how to take part please contact Mary Rudd e. mail@maryruddpr.co.uk

The festival will run concurrently with the national Great British Food Fortnight, between September 19 and October 4, and already includes the EDP Norfolk Food Awards gala dinner at the Holiday Inn, Norwich on September 21, hosted by BBC Look East's Susie Fowler-Watt, and the Aylsham Food Festival between October 2-4.

“Whether you eat to live or live to eat there will be definitely be something that will appeal to your tastebuds,” said festival chairman Richard Woolliams. “Having been involved with the Norwich food festival from the start I have seen it grow to become something quite special. This year we take it countywide with a number of exciting events planned right across Norfolk.”
