Spring celebration of food, family fun and music is being served in Rugby town centre
A spring celebration of food, drink, family entertainment and music is being served in Rugby town centre this weekend.
The Rugby Spring Food and Drink Festival is back on the menu on Saturday, April 25, from 11am to 5pm.
There will be more than 50 stalls to choose from, from hot-steamed dumplings, loaded tacos, churros to chocolate brownies.
Festival-goers can tuck into freshly cooked food, sizzling, full of flavour and ready to eat. Guests who fancy a tipple can sample ales, gin, cider and wines,
The free event, organised by Rugby Borough Council, also features music from local bands.
Taking place in and around Regent Street, there will be a range of delights on offer, from local businesses, farms and producers.
It will also offer traditional woodworking sessions, where skilled woodcarvers and turners will give residents the opportunity to have a go at wood turning, chiselling and carving spoons or spatulas.
Children can enjoy face painting, food art and an opportunity to test their knowledge with a food and drink quiz.
Tom Kittendorf, Rugby Borough Council’s Assistant Director for Leisure and Wellbeing, said: “As always, the event has proved very popular with stallholders and is now fully booked.
“The festival provides a great opportunity for local businesses and start-ups to showcase the excellent food offerings we have in Rugby and surrounding areas.
“Several thousand people are expected to attend the festival, which will have a significant impact on the town centre economy, through increased footfall and raising awareness of town centre businesses.”
