WIN A PAIR OF TICKETS TO FOODIES FESTIVAL

Foodies Festival, the UK’s largest celebration of food & drink returns to Edinburgh Inverleith Park on the weekend of 8 - 10 August this year and we have a pair of tickets to give away.

Each year the ever-growing festival sees tens-of-thousands of visitors flock from the surrounding areas to feast on a vast array of culinary activities, making Foodies Festival the social event of the summer. There are top chefs cooking in the Chef’s Theatre; wine, beer, and cocktails in the Drinks Theatre; top pastry chefs in the brand new Chocolate, Cake, Bake and Preserves Theatre, and kids can learn to cook too in the Children’s Cookery Theatre. A new Feasting Tent at the heart of the festival becomes the social hub, where visitors can enjoy eating with chefs, friends and family at long banqueting tables.

Another exciting addition this year is the Vintage Tea Tent that will hold daily tea dances, alongside a Vintage Kitchen Market allowing visitors to pick up beautiful pieces to add to their own kitchens at home. The new Real Ale and Cider Farm offers an area for visitors to chill out on hay bales and strike up a conversation with our beer and cider expert Melissa Cole and fellow beer lovers. There’s a guitar behind the bar for those in the mood to get a sing-along started.

A new Chilli Food Market will excite those with a love for spicy foods with a range of chilli growers and artisan producers of sauces, sweets and jams. For those who can handle the heat a Chilli Eating Challenge takes place at 5pm daily.
