"With relaxed music playing throughout the day, this is an event for people to relax and soak up the atmosphere while discovering some fabulous food and drink made locally. It should be a great day out.”
More than 50 businesses will be at the event, including Dancing Dungarees, Ferry Ales Brewery, The Very Cool Coffee Bus, Ohlala Loaded Fries, Fleurs Kitchen, The Ginger Pig, Gourmazin and Ellmoo Ice Cream.
The fayre, which is a first for Stourton Woods, is being held in the venue’s roundhouse. It is free to attend, although there will be a £5 cash fee per car to pay on the gate for parking, which will be in the field off Clays Lane. This money will go directly towards paying for the upkeep of the grounds.
