Creative Commercial Photography is proud to be involved with the first Wallingford Food Festival on May 14th 2011 at Bridge Villa Campsite, and hopes that it will be the start of an exciting new venture for local food producers in the area. The Wallingford Food Festival is a celebration of the wide range of quality food produced within the south Oxfordshire area and aims:

  • to promote the value of “locally” produced food from meat, vegetables, fruit, eggs, etc and processed food such as bread, cakes, jams, preserves, beers, wines, meals etc.
  • to show the sustainability of locally produced food and the part seasonality plays in food availability
  • to educate people on how food is produced
  • to promote Wallingford as a key market town in South Oxfordshire
  • to demonstrate how to use the available produce
What a great time of year to promote seasonal food as local produce is blooming and being harvested in the sunshine.

So this is your chance to come and meet the producers and taste their produce and buy some of the best local food in Oxfordshire! The festival patron entertaining visitors will be Gerald Dickens, great-great-grandson of Charles Dickens.  As the main event sponsors, the Rowse Honey Marquee will host a range of sessions on cooking, using ingredients, how to get the best from your garden and more.

I hope to see you there!
