Fringe Events
Food Festival-Fringe Event Sponsor 2011
The Fringe Events are a series of activities which show case the field to fork principles, an ideal opportunity for local producers to promote their wares and unique opportunities for the public to either visit producers, explore the countryside or have new dining experiences.Over the past few years the fringe events have varied from cheese making to butchery demonstrations, progressive dinners to farm walks, talks and themed menus at pubs and restaurants across the whole of Suffolk. Each year seems to inspire more local producers to join in; the events truly highlight the diversity and quality of the area’s food and drink to both visitors and residents.
Last year saw the successful union between lots of producers, teaming up with small holds nearby to each other and running days which included farm walks followed by lunch in a local pub to cheese, wine and charcuterie evenings! 2011 will see us supporting these unions and encouraging newcomers to come on board.
The Fringe Events will continue for a fortnight after the main Festival weekend as it coincides with ‘British Food Fortnight’ so if you wish to join in then don’t delay and sign up now! If you feel inspired but don’t know where to start then please do not hesitate to contact Jenny Loyd, the Festival Organiser, for some ideas or advice. They might be able to put some of you in touch with one another to create a joint event?
