Christchurch Food & Wine Festival

A few days ago, we blogged about Torquay Food and Arts Festival, which was held last weekend to bring the best produce to both local citizens and visitors in Devon. This week we have another fantastic festival to talk to you about... The Christchurch Food & Wine Festival in Dorset, running from the 11th to the 20th of May - plenty of time to discover the 150 events that are taking place during the course of the week! Click here for a day to day list of the events which are being held at the Festival, for you to plan which ones to visit. 

The Christchurch Festival was initially created as a celebration for the Millennium, but after it's huge success it gradually evolved into an annual event, now celebrating it's13th year! With 60,000 visitors flocking to the Festival, which boasts celebrity chefs, International stalls, and free cooking demonstrations - it is no wonder it is considered one of the best Food Festivals in the UK! You can read more about the Festival here, where you're bound to find something you can enjoy...

Many of the events are free of charge and for affordable prices you can book tickets to see Musicals, wine and dine in fantastic restaurants with a selection of incredible food... you can even experience a Cheese and Wine lunch - which we'd be dying to try! As you may already know we have a love for Cheese and Wine here at Smart Gift Solutions. If you're not aware, check out our article all about it!

During the Festival, on the 19th of May,  The Great Christchurch Bake Day event will take place too, which you can get involved in by applying through the website! If you're thinking about applying, why don't you buy yourself a Baking File from our website to write your ideas down?

Don't forget to keep checking back to our blog, to discover what other Festivals are coming up this summer - as we're not limiting ourselves to certain parts of the UK... there is bound to be one near you!
