FOOD-lovers are building up an appetite ahead of this year’s Leamington Food Festival.
Restaurants, cafes and bars will join bakers, street food vendors and other local producers for the free festival taking place in the Pump Room Gardens over the weekend of September 7 and 8.
The event, organised by BID Leamington, is now in its 12th year and some 25,000 people are expected to attend.
Foodies can enjoy everything from seafood to ice cream.
BID project manager Alison Shaw said: “Festival goers can look forward to a mouth-watering programme over the two days with something to suit all tastes and ages.
“Around 130 exhibitors will be showcasing the best in local food and drink, and we’re delighted to welcome a number of new faces including Cheeky Cheese and Bill’s Restaurant.
“Chefs from around the town will also be demonstrating their culinary skills alongside amateurs competing for the ‘Home Cook of the Year’ title in the Live Kitchen.
“The ever popular kids cookery school will return with plenty of cooking sessions for children and with the restoration of the bandstand complete, an exciting line-up of live music will be back on the Pump Room Garden stage.”
