Letchworth Food and Garden Festival

The Letchworth Food and Garden Festival takes over the town centre on Saturday 16th May and Sunday 17th May 2015 with local food heroes showcasing the best produce from the region in our market place, celebrity chef Jean-Christophe Novelli joining other culinary talents cooking up inspirational meals at our demonstration kitchens, and a fantastic range of hot and tasty food.

With plenty of opportunities for hands-on involvement for all the family we want to raise awareness of the importance of knowing where your food comes from, how local and seasonally produced foods benefit the community, the economy and nature, and help you find out how to cook up some fantastic feasts from scratch.

You’ll get the chance to put the ideas you see at our cookery demonstrations into practise and shop for tasty treats and wholesome goodies till your shopping bags burst.

The festival takes place between 10am and 4pm on Saturday 16th and 10am to 4pm on Sunday 17th May 2015. Admission is free however some activities may charge.
