Love Local Food Festival 26
Following the success of the last two years, we are super excited to announce the return of our free-to-attend food festival, bringing a taste of the countryside to Exeter’s City Centre.
For the foodies
Our popular, family-friendly event brings together a whole host of local and independent businesses in a celebration of all things food and drink.
With over 80 local producers attending, food lovers will have the opportunity to taste and purchase some of the best Devon has to offer.
Alongside our popular Greendale BBQ, bakery, delicatessen and fishmongers, we will be back hosting some familiar favourites, including cheese connoisseurs Quickes and Sharpham, local legends West Country Olives and Nicola’s chocolate, plus talented tipple makers Bar Buoy and Powderkeg.
This year, we have an incredible line-up of street food vendors serving up all kinds of mouthwatering flavours. We will be joined by returning foodie favourites including Fresh Pasta, Corn & Crunch, Hearty Hippie and Max and Mikes.
New flavours and faces
As well as our returning brands, we are pleased to welcome some new additions to the festival.
With hand stretched, Neapolitan style sourdough pizzas from Soul Pizza and wood-fired meatballs from Meatball shack to authentic South Indian flavours from Chennai Street Kitchen and lovingly hand-rolled sushi from Hakko House, this year’s street food scene is not something to be missed.
A whole day event
Once again, the stage will be set for an entire day of entertainment for visitors to enjoy while tucking into fantastic food and browsing local artisan goods.
We are pleased to be collaborating with Food Drink Devon at the festival again this year, with a morning of live talks and demonstrations. From artisan cheesemakers and innovative drinks producers to nutrition experts and street food specialists, these 20-minute sessions will provide an opportunity to hear directly from local businesses, discover the stories behind their products, and pick up inspiration to enjoy Devon’s exceptional food and drink at home.
The festival will be ramping up in the afternoon from 1pm with back-to-back sessions of live music from talented local musicians and bands. This year the line-up includes Sing Out Community Choir, Chris Ostler, Monday’s Chyld, Aaron Samuel, Kara-Jade Gelder.
