With a super-sized new Food Hall and more than 100 producers, we’re thinking: ‘Yes, yes, it is!’
We’re so excited. This year’s show has a huge new Food Hall. And when we say huge … it stretches for 60 metres!
The foodie paradise showcases the best of British food and drink producers, with a particular focus on those from Dorset. From brownies to beer, pickles to pork, cider to sourdough, English wines, local gins, cheese, olives and more, the massive marquee provides a taste-tempting experience. And of course there are tasty samples – so you can try before you buy!
Justin Langham from Langham Wine Estate near Dorchester – one of the show’s sponsors – says: ‘Dorset’s farming community is rightly proud of its produce. The new Food Hall at this year’s show is an exciting opportunity for us to celebrate the world-class food and drink we make here. We’re delighted to be a part of it.’
Show organiser James Cox says: ‘Our county is bursting with wonderful food and drink producers – we’re delighted to bring together more than 100 of them, ranging from small producers who are just starting out to well-established, international award-winning names. We love putting visitors and producers together.’
The new Food Hall sits alongside a new Food & Drink Area, sending
mouthwatering smells of delicious hot and cold treats. From Dorset burgers to local doughnuts, this new area welcomes local producers selling both food and condiments for you to enjoy on site and take home to use in your own kitchen. James Cox says: ‘The new area has a festival vibe, with colourful flags and live music. Enjoy a pitstop for a cool local cider or a Dorset ploughman’s picnic.’ The area also has outside pitches for
market traders as well as picnic marquees.
