Fabulous festive Foodies Festival coming to Tatton Park

Tatton Park will be transformed into a spectacular foodie wonderland for a three-day festive feast for the whole family later this month.

Showcasing the best of Cheshire restaurants, chefs, street food and leading food and drink producers, Foodies Festival will feature top chefs, MasterChef winners, a brand new Gin Alley, Artisan Christmas Market, Live Music Stage, Cakes & Desserts Theatre and Festive Masterclasses to inspire you in plenty of time for Christmas.

It’s the perfect way to kick off the Christmas season in style. Get hands on with the Festive Masterclasses and create everything from Christmas wreaths with florists to cupcake decorating with master chocolatier Fiona Sciolti.

A stunning array of Great Taste Awards winners will be exhibiting the best of local produce.

Ask artisan producers questions about their produce and story, and fill up the Christmas stockings with award winning treats to make Christmas extra special.

With over 200 stalls, you will be spoilt for choice between smoked salmon tasting stands, outstanding local cheeses, melt-in-your-mouth brownies, show-stopping cakes, award-winning oils and chutneys, and much, much more.

Can’t cook the turkey quite right? Fear not, Cheshire’s finest will be answering all your questions on how to be the hostess with the mostess – or the host with the most – this Christmas.

Let the UK’s top chefs inspire you with the best recipes to cook up for the family this Christmas.
