Fresh features add to the attractions at Aldeburgh Food and Drink Festival 2011

With a forum of experts discussing eating habits and a bigger-than-ever range of exhibitors and events, this year’s Aldeburgh Food and Drink festival is shaping up to be the best yet.

The Main Festival takes place at Snape Maltings on 24th and 25th September, and the Aldeburgh Food and Drink Fringe Festival is on 23rd September to 8th October 2011.

The main festival will once again showcase the cream of Suffolk’s food and drink producers, with plenty of opportunities for visitors to try before they buy. Other highlights will include cooking demonstrations from celebrity chefs, a ‘plant it, grow it, fun food-related activities, workshops, boat trips, RSPB-guided walks and more.



For the main weekend event the focus is very much on enjoying East Suffolk’s wonderfully varied range of high quality food and drink. With more space than ever for stands, over 80 local producers will be exhibiting their wares and offering visitors the chance to have a taste of what’s on offer.
