Brought forward from the previous early September slot, the Berwick Slow Food event took place on the Parade Green and Car Park, a short distance from the previous spot at Berwick Barracks, at the weekend.
The street food, live music and bars offering started on Friday evening and the evening also included some comedy organised by Damp Knight Comedy.
The festival was then in full swing on Saturday and Sunday with the producers market, demo kitchen, local musicians playing all day, diverse street food options, children’s activities and the foodie film exhibit.
The marquee had to be closed for just over an hour on Saturday late afternoon due to high winds. However, spirits were not dampened and the festivities carried on once the marquee was made safe.
Berwick Slow Food would like to thank the event’s many volunteers and sponsors including Martins The Printers, Tempest Brewing and Simpsons Malt.
