Farnham is set to celebrate the best bites and beverages as one of the tastiest events in the town’s calendar takes place this weekend.

The 15th Farnham Food & Drink Festival returns this Sunday with stalls and talented chefs taking to the streets and stage around Castle Street and The Borough from 10am to 4pm.

The event is a treat for food lovers and families with more than 100 stalls selling food and drink from British classics to exotic international dishes.

Cllr Kika Mirylees, Lead Member for Community and Culture, said: “I’m really looking forward to seeing the Emmy-nominated chef and food writer Ching-He Huang in action.

“She’ll be demonstrating how to cook a mildly spicy and sweet Chinese Chicken Curry from her latest book Wok For Less.

“I’m also excited to watch Ben Piette, chef at Maison Restaurant in Wrecclesham, create his venison dish with seasonal produce.”

Other talented chefs featured include Lorna’s Indian Kitchen, Henry Hampshire, and Petite Patisserie, who will each take to the stage to share their culinary tips, tricks, and recipes.

For those with an interest in beverages, the Drinks Demonstration Stage in the Bush Hotel Courtyard will offer live drink demonstrations and tastings.

Visitors can also enjoy a variety of beverages and can sip on cocktails, sample craft beers, or discover new wines while enjoying food and entertainment.

The festival will feature plenty of family-friendly entertainment, including an acoustic music stage at the top of Castle Street, with performances by local musicians and bands. The dynamic Farnham Taiko Drummers will perform at the top of Downing Street.

Parking is free at Waverley car parks on Sundays and there will be a free bus service covering north and south Farnham. The buses will run at 15-20 minute intervals.
