News: Fourth course for fantastic food and drink festival

14 August

An allotment garden in the heart of Sheffield, a celebrity cook-off against the clock and a dazzling demonstration from Great British Bake Off runner up James Morton – just some of the highlights as a festival for foodies everywhere returns to the city.

Sheffield Food Festival returns for a fourth helping next month – from Friday 20 September to Sunday 22 September – with a menu of tasty treats that promise to make it the most successful yet.

This year highlights include a festival allotment complete with potting shed and seed planting areas in Town Hall Square and a pop-up pudding club in the Winter Garden joining popular regulars like the festival picnic in the Peace Gardens, culinary masterclasses at Sheffield Hallam University and Fargate’s festival kitchen.

There will also be a number of competitions, including From Field to Fork to Photograph, a photography competition which highlights the journeys made by food from the place where it is produced to the place where it is consumed.

Meanwhile the One Pot Vegetable Garden invites school children across the city to submit their own one-pot gardens together with their favourite vegetable recipes.
