What started as a small family business in 2010 has turned into one of the major food festivals in the UK. The Great British Food Festival (GBFF) features the country’s great food and drink in some of the most glorious settings in the country – stately homes from around the UK.
Live music, food demos, men v food challenges, kids cookery, forager walks, and the cake off are just some of the events that take place in a GBFF festival. There’s also street food, arts and crafts, and even a Viking village. The organisers have now staged more than 100 events, and learned a milion lessons, so hopefully by now they know what they are up to.
Organisers describe this as the ‘perfect foodie day out’.
