eat:Festivals are grown from the land around us. They bring the very best West Country food & drink producers and artisans together at festivals in town centres across Somerset, Gloucestershire, Bristol, Wiltshire, Devon, Dorset and Cornwall.
At all our events you can buy local food & drink direct from the producers in a safe, welcoming, outdoor environment. Fresh good food has never been so important for our health and the strength of our community.
