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 welcoming environment. Fresh good food has never been so important for our health and the strength of our community. 

​​

  • Our layouts ensure we all have elbow room and space for conversation, seating and easy access 

  • Our stewards will be on hand to provide advice and guidance 

  • Dog friendly - in fact, the whole family are welcome

  • Fully accessible for buggies, scooters and pushchairs  

  • Always a wide range of vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, alcohol free food & drink.  The festivals are designed to provide for all dietary choices. 

  • Ethics & traceability as standard. You get to meet the makers and find out all you want to know

  • A wide-range of free entertainment including DJs, buskers, strolling characters, performances and playfulness

  • Always free entry - no pre-booking, reserving tickets or faffing around

eat:Festivals work across the West Country. When we are working in East Devon we deliver the festivals under the 'Gate to Plate' brand, in collaboration with East Devon District Council.

Particularly striking is Bev and Sarah Milner [Simonds] description of arriving in Somerset to find that their new neighbours felt completely disconnected from the productive landscape surrounding their town, and how that inspired them to create their food festivals to bring people and the land together." King Charles, Deepest Somerset 2021
