Welcome to this year`s Eat Cambridge festival

#EatCam16
“Hello food fans!”
Welcome to this year’s Eat Cambridge festival, the annual fortnight of events
celebrating our delicious local food and drink scene. Eat Cambridge is now in its
fourth year and seems to be growing as quickly as the impressive independents,
chefs, and events that it aims to showcase and support.
This year we’re bringing you another jam-packed festival programme! On the
following pages, you’ll find details of the much-anticipated Eat Cambridge Main
Event, which kicks things off on Saturday 7 May. The huge food and drink fair
features a great line-up of hand-picked stallholders from our local area plus
interactive talks and workshops providing food for thought throughout the day.
You can also browse the festival fringe programme, which runs from Saturday 7 to
Sunday 22 May and is made up of exciting, one-off food and drink events hosted
by our sponsors, local independent businesses, restaurants, cafes, chefs, and
enterprising foodies. Take your pick from the ever-popular official Eat Cambridge
events like our street food night market, food debate, and chef demos, as well as a
whole host of other pop-ups, tasting menus, workshops, and family-friendly feasts.
See you there!
