Once again Alton's High Street will be filled with fantastic flavours and aromas coming from the food festival on Saturday 11 July.
Over 50 food and drink stalls plus many of the local food shops, bars and restaurants will join in the spirit of the food festival.
You will be able to find some wonderful delicacies such as local organic food products, local cheeses, ice cream, olives, Italian bread and cakes, jams and chutneys, herbs and plants, smoothies and shakes just to name a few.
To bring all this to life we will have local chefs making fantastic healthy family recipes with ingredients sourced from the local shops and market stalls.
We are also supporting the governments Change4Life Campaign which promotes healthy living for children and will be offering healthy recipes that will suit families and can also be scaled down for one or two people. They will have a healthy focus, be affordable and be easy to make for the whole family to enjoy. For more information see their website www.nhs.uk/change4life 0300 123 4567
