Description
A day of appreciation for the food and drink on offer locally. Shops, pubs and restaurants demonstrate that people can buy better locally. The town has an unusual collection of highly-specialised businesses in the food and drink sector and traders and suppliers are keen to show off their wares and service.
Local outlets will set up stands in the precinct and other businesses will put on 'Festival' displays. Mouth-watering fare will be on sale: grilled meats and sausages, fresh paella out of a pan, a large range of cheeses and deli foods, reshly squeezed drinks and smoothies, hot soups, sandwiches, freshly picked local fruit and vegetables, cakes, canapes, and unusual breads.
Local cafes and pubs will be putting on special menus, to show the public how easily they can buy and eat locally.
As well as healthy (and some nice but naughty!) food on sale and delicious aromas filling the air, there will be plenty of entertainment throughout the day including Marple Band with light concert music and buskers.
Plus face painting, free samples, the annual pie competition and the ever-popular raffle.
Robinson Brewery’s horse and dray will also attend!
Marple Band will be playing light concert music for three half hour spots.
