10.30 am – 4.30 pm

Wells Food Festival returns on Sunday, 13 October to celebrate the high quality products from our local artisan food and drink producers.

Over 200 traders from Somerset and the South West will be showcasing and selling food and drinks, street food and homewares.

English wines will be featured again this year, with the opportunity to talk to the vineyard owners and taste their wines.

The Children’s Zone will have some interactive fun and some kiddie sized street food. Young visitors will also enjoy the Fun Kitchen cookery workshops and the Children’s Trail.

Food for Thought will also be back, with a dedicated area highlighting current, food related, social issues.

The market stalls will be found in the Market Place and Town Hall, on the Bishop’s Palace Green, along the moat and in the recreation ground.

Plus this year, for the first time, the artisan market, with some brand new traders, will extend down the High Street, which will be closed to traffic for the day.

The festival is free to enter and family friendly.
