Wow! Valentines Day was a fantastic success, really good atmosphere – (food) love was definitely in the air! Thank you to everyone who came along and helped make it such a brilliant day.  Take a look in the pictures to see some great shots of the day.

 

It’s all getting very exciting here with the forthcoming Spring Festival. It’s to be held at Brunel’s Old Station at Temple Meads in Bristol at the end of March. This is the biggest Love Food to date as we welcome visitors from all over the West Country. The venue is absolutely stunning and steeped in history and will be filled with lovely lovely things and plenty to do for all ages. It’s the same weekend the clocks go forward so a double celebration, Spring will officially have sprung...! With Easter the weekend after it’s the perfect time for a bit of Food Loving.

 

If you are a stall holder, run a group or organisation and would be interested in exhibiting, a local artist, performer, children’s entertainer or are interested in getting involved in any other way then please give me a call on 07815 308488 or email me: lorna@lovefoodfestival.com

What it's all about

The aim of the festival is to get children (and adults) from Bristol, out into the countryside learning about how and where our food should come from, how to grow and cook their own food and generally try to spark an interest in the topic through various mediums including hands on experience, tasting, art, movement and storytelling.

 

Teachers from local schools will be invited along with local families, Countryside education agencies, chefs, farmers will all be brought together to learn what resources are available to us and how we can work together to best use and preserve our wonderful countryside.

 

I was lucky enough to grow up in the Dorset countryside having all these benefits from a young age. It has certainly filled me with a real passion and protectiveness for farming and for the land itself. Food really is so important in our daily lives and we have some how lost sight of the connection between our food and where it comes from. The aim of Love Food is to build and to encourage this link in every way possible for customers to learn from suppliers and for suppliers to learn from customers.
