Foodies Festivals are delighted to announce that legendary olive oil company La Española are joining us as sponsors of our Chefs Theatre. Founded almost two centuries ago, La Española is the oldest olive oil company in Spain. As a food lover, you’re probably familiar with the benefits of using olive oil in your everyday cooking. Whether you use it to fry, grill, roast or drizzle, it’s an endlessly versatile ingredient that’s great for adding extra flavour to your food. Plus, it’s high in unsaturated fats, making it a healthier alternative to butter in both cooking and baking. Each bottle is made using 100% Spanish olives, grown locally on farms in the Andalucía region, for the most authentic taste.

There’s lots for families to do at Foodies, whether they’re getting stuck in at the Kids Cookery Theatre, playing in the Kidzone or having fun on the fairground rides. Don’t miss the glittery face painting (even glitter beards if you’re brave!) or trying your hand at a bit of axe-throwing with Timberjacks.
