Dartington Food Fair

After the hugely successful first event we aim to make the 2012 Dartington Food Fair even bigger and better!

The Dartington Food Fair is back in June 2012 after a hugely successful first event in 2011. This year the three-day foodie festival will take place over the Jubilee bank holiday weekend on the 3rd, 4th and 5th June 2012 at the Shops at Dartington, one mile from Totnes in the beautiful South Hams area of Devon.

The festivities include twenty top regional chefs, cooking up a storm in our demonstration kitchen, including seafood champion, local restaurateur and fishmonger Mitch Tonks. Suzy Atkins, a well-known wine expert from the hugely popular TV show ‘Saturday Kitchen’ will also be making an appearance.

There will be hands-on fun for all to enjoy, young and old, and FREE activities such as clay pot making, face painting, fire juggling shows and animal petting, plus bookable sessions of kayaking, archery and bike riding – meaning there are plenty of reasons to visit.

Back this year is the popular Food and Drink Pavilion with over 50 producers from Devon and the West Country. Ashridge Cider will also be coming back for their second year, hosting the Devon Cider Bar to help get everyone in the festive mood.

New for 2012 is the craft tent, showcasing the finest Devon crafts and providing hands on activities for all to learn and enjoy. Celebrations for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee will take place throughout the entire event with themed food and drink, competitions galore and live music from several well-known groups.

Entrance is £4 for adults (children under 12 go free) and on-site parking is free.

...And remember all profits made from enterprise activities go towards supporting the Dartington Hall Trust’s charitable programmes in the arts, social justice and sustainability.
