Working with such supportive, enthusiastic, passionate, and generous organisations has been an absolute pleasure. Eat Cambridge owes a lot to a small gang of Festival Friends, too. We’ve worked with VISIT OUR WEBSITE Pint Shop to deliver fantastic fringe events which celebrate the local food scene. We’ve received the most amazing new website and brochure design thanks to local foodie design agency Rubber Cheese. We’ve spread the word even further with the help of www.eat-cambridge.co.uk flyers, posters, and programmes printed by Minuteman Press. Thank you, friends! Lovingly designed by Rubber Cheese A final, and important, thank you goes to some incredible people helping me out behind the scenes. A team of volunteers has spent hours flyering, postering, endless social media posting, proofreading, mucking in at events, and remaining calm and smiling at all times! Special thanks go to Dr Sue Bailey for working on the Eat Cambridge Food Debate and to Lyndsey Spellman for managing the talks at the Main Event. Same time next year?
