Tis the season to be a foodie - there’s a world of food festivals on at the moment, the largest and most diverse being the British Food Fortnight, on right now around the country.

If you’re in Nottingham, you could check out Transition Nottingham’s Urban Harvest Festival where local gardeners and producers gather together to share skills and produce and to celebrate the harvest. There will be workshops including some on foraging and country wine making.

If you’re near the Forest of Dean you could visit the The Forest Showcase & Annual Food Festival. Thousands of visitors attend each year to sample the produce from local food producers.

October Sausage Saturday in North Yorkshire looks like fun. There will be a choice of sausages served with mash garden peas and onion gravy served in the Walled Garden Restaurant.

For those of you in York, there’s the York Food Festival, a 10 day city-wide event organised to promote local and regional food and drink. There will be community events, fringe events, cookery workshops for adults and children and the worlds biggest coffee morning.

Are you going to any of these events? Want to write a guest blog post about it for us? Or about something else happening in your area? We’d love to hear from you. Email niamh@trustedplaces.com.
