Wallington Food and Craft Festival - 16th & 17th October

The Wallington Food and Craft Festival will this year take place on the 16th & 17th October and will showcase a huge range of regional produce. Over 50 exhibitors from the North East and Cumbria will be attending Wallington and the Northumbria Larder demonstration kitchen will also be at the event, with top North East Chefs on hand to entertain and inform.

Highlights of the festival include displays and stalls by suppliers of fresh local food and drink, with products such as home-made cakes, biscuits, meat, cheese and sweets. Visitors to the festival will also find a wide range of arts, hand made crafts and jewellery, and the magnificent Wallington house and gardens will be open to the public as usual. Organised by a partnership of the Northumbria Larder, The National Trust and Made in Cumbria, the event runs from 10am until 5pm both days.

Sandy Duncan, general manager for Northumbria Larder, comments: “Wallington Food and Craft Festival is a wonderful event. It is really important to showcase and celebrate the fantastic food and drink that is produced in our region, and Wallington does that so well. I am particularly looking forward to watching top chefs from across the region showcase dishes using fresh, local produce”
