British July Food Festivals

If you are British, or are going to be visiting there for the rest of this month, you might find a food festival of interest in the following list:

14 – 15 July 2007 Children’s Food Festival, Abingdon Airfield, Oxfordshire

The UK’s first food festival devoted to children features cookery lessons from celebrity chefs including Raymond Blanc, Sophie Grigson and Antonio Carluccio. In themed food tents, children can follow an ingredient from the field to fork, trying their hands at everything from pasta-making to butter-churning.

21 – 29 July 2007 Whitstable Oyster Festival

Beginning with the landing of the oysters and an ‘oyster parade’, closing with fireworks at the regatta, and with street entertainment and an oyster-eating competition in between, this promises to be a pearl of a festival.
