Mouthwatering morsels and delicious drinks will surround you at Haslemere Food Festival. Taste and sip on a variety of treats as Adaleigh Buckrell tells us

Haslemere’s annual Food Festival, a delicious celebration of locally made delicacies will tempt foodies to Lion Green on September 21st.

With free entry to enjoy the mouth-watering food and drink of producers and providers from Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire, there’s plenty to enjoy and tuck into from 10am to 4pm. From cured meat, to shortbread and baked goods, to cheese, pies and gourmet condiments, the variety of culinary treats available in the local area is impressive. This is showcased by the diverse choice of stalls on offer at the festival.

Take the opportunity to sample the tasty bites before you buy, and purchase a glass of your favourite beer, gin or wine as a prelude to the bottle you take home. Whether you are in the mood for sumptuous burgers and tacos, moreish Thai or Sicilian street food, or a burrito (of which there are vegan and veggie friendly options), you won’t have to look far for a lunch to devour on the grassy green.

A drop from the pop-up Prosecco bar or a scoop of ice cream would be the perfect refreshment to accompany the live music played by bands from Haslemere and the surrounding towns. As you recline on your rugs around the stage, the kids will be entertained by the blow up obstacle courses, slide and other fun activities, or distracted by the pick ‘n’ mix stand. Not only will you be supporting local businesses by coming along to the festival, but it is a great day out that brings the community together.

Even your dog will be excited by the special pet biscuits stall. The Surrey Wildlife Trust will also be in attendance to provide yummy snacks to leave out for the hungry creatures in our gardens – hopefully they have not eaten the tomato plants being grown by school children in the area. The fruits of their labour will be judged by the town mayor at the festival and prizes given out.

The festivities are organised by a committee of volunteers who give up their time to ensure everyone can appreciate the delectable, high-quality products that are created by award-winning suppliers in and around Haslemere.

Make sure to pop by before they are sold out!

There are plenty of car parks nearby and the festival really caters for all! Email enquiries to visithaslemere@haslemeremuseum.co.uk and follow @haslemerefoodfestival on Facebook for updates.
