A feast fit for a King

Fox Valley in North Sheffield will be hosting its first Food & Drink Market this weekend [6th & 7th May].

As part of the Fox Valley Coronation Weekend celebrations, a range of local street food traders will be attending along with a selection of homemade food and drinks including sweet treats, condiments, and craft gins.

The market will run from 10am until 3pm on both days and shoppers can expect to find food traders such as Peak Honey with their natural locally sourced honey from Derbyshire Peak District, Feinkost Olives with a large range of olives, seafood and deli items and Buttercup Bakery with a beautiful selection of baked treats.

A mighty meat feast fit for a King will be taking over the centre with Hepy’s Hog Roast supplying a delicious selection of hot pork foodie favourites. Connell’s Catering will be sizzling up a burger storm and Fox Valley will also see the return of popular Greek street food trader, Main Street, with traditional Greek wraps and Gyros.

There will also be a host of fun activities running throughout the weekend with a live demo kitchen on Saturday in the fountain area. Ponti’s Italian Kitchen and McGilveray's will be sharing some of their favourite recipes throughout the day.

The market will be held in partnership with the centre's adopted charity, Sheffield Churches Council for Community Care (SCCCC), who will be hosting a free Coronation themed craft workshop for children to enjoy, including crown and flag making.

Claire Biltcliffe, Centre Manager at Fox Valley, said: “There is no better way to celebrate the bank holiday and the King’s Coronation than a bit of shopping and some great food!”

The Coronation will be shown on the centre’s big screen throughout Saturday for those who want to watch the Royal event as well as taking in the fun activities throughout the weekend.

The centre’s department store Sandersons Boutique will also be marking the Coronation with a special Royal themed lucky dip, giving customers the chance to win discounts.

Free mini facials, double loyalty points, fragrance samples and gifts will also be available.

And shoppers will be treated to complimentary glass of Pimm’s as well as strawberries and cream.
