2012 will play host to the 8th annual Shobdon Food Festival. During that time, we've established ourselves as one of the region's best-loved culinary events. We pride ourselves on offering producers an additional shop window for their skills while providing visitors with a beautiful, relaxed, family-friendly environment within which to taste and enjoy and, if sufficiently tempted, buy the sumptuous food and drink on offer.
Amazingly, 2012 also represents the 30th anniversary of organising Flower Festivals in Shobdon. Back in 1982, the idea of hosting a village flower festival was thought up as a way of boosting ailing church funds. Since then we have also been able to donate thousands of pounds to a variety of good causes from local clubs and societies to national charities.
To celebrate our birthday and to mark the reopening of our stunning parish church, which has spent months undergoing essential renovations, we are confident that next year's event will be truly special. In addition to assembling the finest and freshest mix of food and drink from local cheeses, wines, ales, summer fruits and meats; we will also play host to bespoke arts and crafts as well as the most comprehensive line up of food and country skills demonstrations we have ever assembled. There will be more family entertainment, more live music, more concerts, more vintage vehicles and of course, a host of stunning floral and horticultural displays and exhibits that we know will take your breath away.
The best way to keep up with our plans as they emerge is to visit the website regularly. If you require any information, either as a visitor or a potential exhibitor, please don't hesitate to get in touch at shobdonfoodfestival@gmail.com.
We hope you'll join us in June for a weekend to stimulate the senses...
