The Emsworth Food Festival

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Since its inception in 2001 The Emsworth Food Festival has grown to become the largest event of its type in the UK. In 2006 there were 55,000 visitors and 130 exhibitors of quality food and food related products.

Normally held each year over a weekend in September the normally quiet village of Emsworth is transformed into a foodie’s paradise. Visitors can also enjoy special Food festival menus in Emsworth’s many pubs and restaurants, cookery demonstrations, wine and beer tastings and three days of free street entertainment.

The Festival is a community event organised and run entirely by volunteers. Any surplus funds generated by the event are donated to community projects in Emsworth.
