Foodies Festival at Hampton Court Palace

5th, 6th and 7th May 2012
Sat - 10am-7pm
Sun - 11am-7pm
Mon - 11am-6pm

Foodies Festivals is bringing the most exciting mix of food, drink and culinary talent to Hampton Court Palace for 2012.

There will be cooking demonstrations from Michelin-starred and TV chefs, such as Levi Roots and Cyrus Todiwala, tasting sessions and cooking-for-kids masterclasses for budding young chefs, all in the beautiful surroundings of the palace grounds.

You can sample and buy artisan food from over 100 exhibitors, indulge in signature dishes from well-known restaurants and sip summer cocktails shaken up by expert mixologists. New features include an on-site cook school, Street Food Avenue, showcasing cuisine from across the world, and a dedicated Wine Village.
There is plenty to keep the children occupied, with hilarious food fights for the over-sevens, as well as a city beach, which has Whitstable-style beach huts serving tea and ice cream direct to your deckchair. While the kids are making sandcastles, you can kick back in the sun with a delicious cocktail from the beach bar.

Or if you fancy a day out with the girls, why not dig out your gladrags for Ladies’ Day on May 5? You’ll be able to bet on your favourite chefs all day, before you cheer them on in the egg-and-spoon, sack and three-legged races. There will be a competition for the best dressed and you can show off your fabulous outfit in the sophisticated VIP tent, which will have an exotic nightclub feel, with music and cabaret to entertain you.

You can cuddle up with your nearest and dearest in lovers’ seats at the Food of Love Cinema, which will be showing the greatest food films of all time – as well as serving the food and drink from the movie you’re watching direct to your seat.

Whatever you choose to do, you can be sure Foodies is the perfect accompaniment to your bank holiday weekend.
