Love Food Festival is hosting a festive celebration like no other as part of Christmas at the Spiegeltent. Visitors are invited to eat, drink, be merry and get into the Christmas spirit in this uniquely beautiful venue.
Local producers will be displaying their wares, with plenty of thoughtful, sustainable gift ideas. Food will of course be at the forefront, why not create bespoke hampers for your loved ones? Fill them with artisan products including jams, chutneys, local wine, cider, cheese and chocolates. There will be plenty of other gift ideas too, including work from local illustrator Ben Rothery, pamper products from Neal’s Yard and herbal remedies from The Urban Fringe. There will also be the opportunity to order your Christmas meats.
Mulled cider will be on hand from Dick Willows to keep your hands warm while you take in the atmosphere and peruse the street food on offer. Locally made vegetarian curries and stand-out burgers will run alongside wood fired pizza and other hearty options.
In the children’s area the theme is ‘Oh Christmas Tree’ and little ones will be encouraged to decorate their own festive stationery, write letters to Father Christmas and get a head start on their cards. They will also be able to make their own tree decorations, garlands and clay candle holders to take home and display with pride.
Commenting, Love Food Festival founder Lorna Knapman said: “We are aiming to create a magical day in the Spiegeltent. It’s about coming together with friends and family, eating good food and enjoying each other’s company. We want visitors to feel relaxed and remember what Christmas is all about.”
