VOLUME 2
Now one of the largest free food festivals in the North, Huddersfield’s Food and Drink Festival runs from the 8th to 11th of August and attracts over 150,000 visitors. Gareth Davies, Managing Director at Kirklees Stadium Development Ltd (KSDL) commented: “We are delighted to partner with the Huddersfield Food and Drink Festival. The event is a celebration of regional flavours, with the very best tastes of Yorkshire on display from local chefs, brewers and producers. The Stadium has been part of Huddersfield’s community for almost 20 years and we want to show support for the festival. Events like the Festival help to put Huddersfield firmly on the map as a key destination in Yorkshire.”
The four day event features more than 70 food and drink stallholders, an hourly programme of free cookery demonstrations by local chefs and producers, free children’s workshops and entertainment as well as late night music events and a vintage fair in the Byram Arcade. To celebrate the start of the festival, the Stadium is hosting a dinner where guests will experience the culinary delights of the Caribbean, Asia, Mexico and Great Britain, prepared by Chef Barrington Douglas & The John Smith’s Stadium Resident Chef - Martin Russell, whilst enjoying music from around the world.
