Christchurch Food & Wine Festival celebrates its 10th year

Description:

This year’s organisers of the Christchurch and Wine Festival, which runs from May 8 to 17, are pulling out all the stops to make sure the its 10th anniversary is celebrated in style.

Celebrity chefs Gary Rhodes, Lesley Waters and James Tanner will be showing off their cooking skills and culinary style with demonstrations.

The International Market will take place in the pedestrianised High Street on Saturday May 9 and Sunday May 10. New for this year will be Flavours of Italy in the cobbled area of Church Street – an authentic Italian piazza with stalls selling quality Italian food and wine.

It goes without saying that restaurants, pubs and cafes throughout the town will be offering special meals and providing offers over the 10 days of the festival.

A programme giving details of all the events will be available soon.

The Christchurch Food & Wine Festival International food Market will have more than 100 stalls selling a wide variety of food and food-related products. The spaces are already filling up fast so if there are any producers out there who would like a stall they need to get in touch with Ann Simon at Christchurch Council as soon as possible, tel: 01202 495127 or email a.simon@christchurch.gov.uk.
