Leamington Food & Drink Festival returns for 11th event at weekend
The free-to-attend event, regarded as one of the best autumn food festivals in the country, is set to attract tens of thousands of visitors from all over the UK.
And, as part of a new incentive to encourage more people to travel to the event by train, those who show a valid ticket will receive a free beer, glass of wine or non-alcoholic drink.

Hide AdAlison Shaw, project manager for event organiser BID Leamington said: “We know people travel to the festival by train and hope this new incentive will encourage more to come by rail and in return, we will give them a drink on us.”

Aubrey Allen will be returning with the Home Cook of the Year competition in the Live Cookery Theatre, which will also host demonstrations by other town businesses such as the Tame Hare, Cote Restaurant and Price’s Spices.
