Free-From Food festival at the Southbank
The first ever food festival dedicated to 'Free-From' products launches at the Southbank Centre.
An exciting new food festival, focusing on 'Free From' foods is launching on Friday 25th November for three days at Southbank Centre.
The inaugural Free From Food Festival will bring together many 'Free From' food specialists and the growing number of artisan producers who create a range of gluten, wheat, dairy, sugar and/or egg free goods.
The festival will be of interest to all food lovers, as well as those who are genuinely affected by the foods around them.
It will appeal not only to coeliacs, but to those with other food intolerances (dairy in particular) through to anyone curious about or wanting to make lifestyle changes to their diet.
Demonstrations & Tastings
The festival promises to have a variety of companies and individuals showcasing their unique, high quality products as well as a schedule of demonstrations, talks and tutored tastings, given by the exhibiting producers themselves, as well as visiting chefs and authorities from the 'Free From' world.
Exhibitors will be on hand to educate, offer samples, sell and display their goods, thereby creating an environment where people can learn about, shop, eat and gain further confidence about 'Free From' foods as alternative substitutes.
I'm really pleased to be bringing together a diverse range of producers where visitors can learn about and try the artisan 'free from' foods and drink on offer and meet many of the passionate people behind them. There's definitely an interest in alternative grains and dairy substitutes for mainstream products as well as people wanting knowledge about how to cook and use these. The Free From Food Festival will set the scene for learning more as well as being able to get a wide range of products under one roof.
As it's close to Christmas, many producers will have gluten-free, wheat-free and dairy-free seasonal produce that visitors to the festival can purchase there or order for themselves, friends or family, thereby making Christmas and the holidays an occasion that everyone can enjoy.
Companies such as Wag Free will be selling their latest range of gluten free savoury and Christmas products, Inspiralled and Conscious Food will showcase their more healthy Christmas food gift options and Jaz and Jules will be showcasing their delicious Organic Hot Chocolate.
