An Interactive Food Experience For All Ages

Visit the Feast of Wiltshire on 1 September 2007 at Crockerton Meadow to experience a fantastic and flavoursome festival of food. Expect to discover an eclectic mouth watering choice of food alongside real ales, wines and ciders from local producers – a true gastronomic celebration of the South West.

Many of the area’s fabulous hotels, restaurants and gastro pubs will be showcasing their talents with cooking demonstrations and food stalls selling a wide array of hot and cold dishes – enabling you to sample lots of fantastic food in the one place throughout the day. Tables and chairs will be set out in the gardens so you can savour the delicacies in comfort.

Children will even have an opportunity to prepare – and consume – their very own food at our children’s cookery school. Designed not only to entertain them on the day, it will hopefully encourage an interest in quality ingredients and the preparation of fantastic dishes that they can continue to put into practice at home.

To enthuse more than your taste buds, entertainment will be on hand, including talented musical bands, children’s entertainers, a face painter, a bouncy castle and a crèche – making it a fabulous day out for the family. There will even be a waiter’s race!

Farmers Market stalls will be selling a variety of Wiltshire produce: from jams to Jerusalem artichokes, cheeses to cherry pies and pickles to plants. A cordial welcome to take part is being offered to all of our fine local producers.

Dean Carr of The Bath Arms, Crockerton – the inspiration behind the event said:

“Wiltshire has so much fine fare to offer and it only seems right that it should be celebrated. This is an amazing opportunity to sample some of the best produce – and cookery talent – from across the county. The children’s cookery school will be great fun. You cannot beat the sense of satisfaction from preparing your own really tasty dishes and I am sure the children will go away inspired to cook more at home and experiment with different foods.”

So why not come along, choose from a selection of tasty dishes (from only 50p) from one of the amazing venues taking place, and one of the perfectly chilled guest beers from the beer festival stand – or a jug of pimms, take a table and while away your afternoon in perfect summer style.
