Festival of food at Wicksteed Park Kettering to celebrate the best local produce - and its free entry!

The festival has more than doubled in size with more than 40 food vendors lined up for the one-day event on Sunday, September 1.

Organisers Kettering Town Council promise a huge range of cuisine on offer, both sweet and savoury, and local food and drinks produce made in Northamptonshire.

Cllr Craig Skinner, mayor of Kettering and chair of the Markets and Events Committee said: “This is a great chance to sample some of the amazing local food that we have on our doorstep. There are some fantastic food and drink businesses in Kettering and we are really pleased to be able to showcase them in this way.

“As well as the incredible street food we will have entertainment, demonstrations and of course there’s the fantastic surroundings of Wicksteed Park for everyone to enjoy. This will be a great family day out for people of all ages to come along to at the end of the holidays.”

There will also be live entertainment and family fun at the festival and entry to the event is free.
