The Southport Food and Drink Festival 2010
The seaside town of Southport in Merseyside has become known for more than just B&Bs and a funfair. Thanks to the annual Food and Drink Festival, the area is now renowned for amazing food, fresh produce and food job employers.
The Southport Food and Drink Festival 2010 runs from May 13th until May 15th and will feature the very best local and national chefs cooking up perfectly cooked menus, whilst visitors can benefit by discovering a few trade secrets on recipes, ingredient sourcing and preparing food.
Special guests include:
• Simon Rimmer - household name and resident chef on BBC2's 'Something for the Weekend'
• Aiden Byrne - Michelin star chef, TV personality and author
• Pete Brown - TV beer expert and author
In addition to these live demonstrations, festival-goers can also enjoy the innovative Chocolate Festival, seasonal Spring Beer Festival, Italian Market, local producers' market, whisky tasting and many more events held in the festival's Taste Marquee.
One of the best things about the Food and Drink Festival, however, is the support it gives to young people interested in future food jobs and looking for ways to gain useful skills and training.
