Aldeburgh Food and Drink Fringe Festival
The information below relates to last year, this years information will be coming soon, but in the meantime here’s an example of what was on offer last year:
The Aldeburgh Food and Drink Fringe Festival takes place from 23rd September to 8th October 2011 in the days following the main weekend event of the Aldeburgh Food & Drink Festival and features fringe events throughout East Suffolk on farms, in the countryside, beaches, market towns and villages.
These include workshops, behind the scene tours of producers, progressive dinners and specially created menus at supporting restaurants and eateries, family activities, farm visits, guided walks and special cookery demonstrations. Something for everyone!
The Fringe Events are a series of activities which show case the field to fork principles, an ideal opportunity for local producers to promote their wares and unique opportunities for the public to either visit producers, explore the countryside or have new dining experiences.
Here are some of the event highlights running this year. Please visit www.aldeburghfoodanddrink.co.uk for the full line up and to get tickets - -
