Channell Events launches the Great Taste Festival of Food and Drink this year, at Clumber Park, Nottinghamshire on 21/22 September and Donington Park, Derbyshire on 7/8 December.

Each will showcase award-winning producers from around the country and bring together food companies, special guests and exciting dishes in a range of restaurants, pop up cafés and bars.

“Food and drink producers from all over the country aspire to meet the criteria to achieve the coveted Great Taste Award,” Bev Channell, managing director of Channell Events, said. “As the only accredited Great Taste Festival, the same high standards will be reflected in each of our [events].

“We have selected two great locations and we will focus on the produce that is harvested and developed in that particular area, providing a showcase for the local business community, as well as bringing fantastic producers to the region from across the UK.” 

The festivals will feature a cookery theatre with expert advice, tips and techniques from special guests. ITV’s Food Glorious Food judge Stacie Stewart and Celebrity Masterchef winner Lisa Faulkner will be at Clumber Park, with more names to be announced.
