Savouring the Source

Proudly sponsored by Whitelaw Weber

Savouring the Source Food & Wine Festival became a part of the show programme in 2001. The celebration of the best of local food and wine quickly became enormously popular, not least perhaps thanks to the family atmosphere.

Whilst it took a pause for a few years (along with the Show in 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid19 pandemic, in 2023 we relaunched the festival as part of the Show. It was an enormous hit, and we are looking forward to seeing the variety of producers at the 2024 Show!
