Food and drink - Events

In recent years England has seen something of a culinary revolution. Foreign visitors have stopped complaining about our cuisine and Jamie Oliver has taken it upon himself to change our children’s eating habits. It’s all change…

This is well reflected in the huge number of food and drink events that now take place around England throughout the year. The country is positively basking in the variety and distinction of its regional flavours and identities when it comes to fresh and delicious produce.

If you’re a foodie there are quite literally dozens of top shows and events to attend where you can sample all manner of delectable sweet and savoury treats, gather top tips and advice from industry and celebrity chefs – or simply buy the ingredients you can’t find at the local supermarket.

Those of you looking for that particular tipple are also well looked after with the numerous regional food and drink festivals, in addition to better known drinks’ events such as CAMRA’s Summer Beer Festival in July and Kent’s Cider Festival in October.
