John Coward, Assistant Town Centre Manager said:
Visitors and residents can look forward to a great weekend, with plenty of food options, including gluten free, vegetarian and vegan. We are also pleased to let people know that 60% of the vendors are located within 10 miles of the town centre. That’s not only good for the environment but great news that within this area we can offer so much variety.
Executive Member for Leisure, Deputy Leader at the Borough Council, Councillor Mark Bools said:
Year on year this event proves to be so popular offering residents and visitors such a wide range of food and drink options – the festival is already fully booked, which hopefully speaks volumes as to the popularity of this event. We can offer something for everyone. We do anticipate the town centre will be particularly busy throughout this weekend and so we encourage visitors to use public transport or walk in where possible. It should be a great weekend and we look forward to welcoming everybody.
