This year’s Wealden Food & Wine Festival returns to Pevensey Castle on Saturday 16 July and Sunday 17 July.—Wealden District Council
The 2016 event promises even more than last year with cookery demonstrations, falconry displays, lots of live music, wine talks, street entertainment, storytelling, local beers, craft stalls and guided walks.
As Pevensey is where the Normans first landed 950 years ago, there will be a commemorative theme to some of our events.
“Our first Wealden Food & Wine Festival was held at Pevensey Castle in 2014. Last year’s event was held at Bentley Wildfowl & Motor Museum Castle and each year we have seen more and more visitors come to try the food and wine and enjoy the entertainment,” said Councillor Roy Galley, Cabinet Member with responsibility for tourism.
“We are expecting an even greater attendance than last year’s 5,800 visitors. It’s a great way to spend a summer’s day in a enchanting historic setting. So why not make it a date on 16 & 17 July to sample some great food and drink from our corner of East Sussex.”
There are opportunities to exhibit at this year’s Wealden Food and Wine Festival. If you would like to exhibit, please email tourism@wealden.gov.uk or telephone 01892 602281. More information about the Wealden Food and Wine 2016 can be found at http://www.wealdenfestivals.co.uk
