Cook Eat and Grow in the Great Outdoors with Love Food Festival
Love Food Festival will be helping spring flourish into summer with its first outing to the beautiful Dyrham Park of the year. Visitors are encouraged to celebrate the great outdoors as flowers bloom, vegetables grow and the temperature rises.
Join the festival on Sunday 18th May 2014 from 10am - 4pm (free entry).
Adults and children alike will have the opportunity to cook, eat and grow, all in the beautiful grounds of this 17th Century mansion. Activities will run in partnership with the National Trust's '50 things to do before you're 11 ¾' so that children can tick something off their list.
Watch Bath's Rachel Demuth cooking with seasonal Riverford produce and add some new vegetable-friendly recipes to your repertoire, or help your children to make some of their own elderflower cordial to take home.
Sample delicious local ingredients from some of the best producers in the South West including Bath Soft Cheese, Upton Cheyney Chilli Company, Juice to go, Kidner's Organics, Eggardon Rare Breeds, Ivor's Ice Cream and La Dame Gateau. When it's time for lunch you will be spoilt for choice with some exciting street food options, including Burger Theory, The Spanish Buffet, Old Sodbury Roasters, Burrito Loco and Barefoot Pizza.
Glenhalme herbs will be on hand to discuss growing culinary and medicinal herbs, while children will be able to plant their own sunflower to take home and grow. The children's area will have plenty of fun and games for them to burn off some energy before tasting something new for lunch. Watch them play or go on a story walk adventure, while you sit back and relax at Dick Willows' cider bar and take in the beautiful view of the deer park.'
"Dyrham is a beautiful venue and the perfect place to celebrate the great outdoors and the turning of the seasons. Our focus at Dyrham is always very much on outdoor play and how we can spark children’s interest in nature. Teaming up with the National Trust's 50 things to do before you're 11 ¾ is a great way to do this. We are also excited to welcome Rachel Demuth to the festival who will be offering new recipe inspiration for the season ahead."
