Tastes of Yorkshire Food and Drink Family Festival is a new and exciting event to be held on June 16th 2012 at Ripon Racecourse, North Yorkshire.
We aim to showcase the very best of Yorkshire food and drink, with producers from all over the surrounding North Yorkshire countryside bringing their finest local produce for you to discover and enjoy.
Our main attraction, the Gourmet Market, will feature around 50 stalls selling the very best of local Yorkshire produce. You can also enjoy hot food during the day on the bandstand lawn, taking in the beautiful racecourse venue and listening to our Jazz band. Hambleton Ales will be running a Beer Festival, with around 20 ales from local, independent brewers on offer.
As well as all this, we will have a demonstration stage where renowned local celebrity chefs Stephanie Moon, consultant chef to Rudding Park, and Andrew Pern from the Star Inn at Harome, both of whom competed in the Great British Menu, and Paul Jackson from the Crown Inn at Great Ouseburn, will be showing off their talent. We will also have chocolatier Sophie Jewett from York Cocoa House showcasing her Yorkshire Chocolate Collection, and the 21 Engineer Regiment will be doing a field catering demonstration.
To make sure that the whole family can get involved, we have children’s cookery workshops running throughout the day, including pizza making with The Pizza Farm and the York Cocoa House Chocolate Factory. For the adults, we have grown-up’s chocolate making workshops, also run by York Cocoa House. With great food, great beer and a great atmosphere, it will be the perfect family day out!
