Love Food? Love the seaside? Ready for something new? Then get your taste buds prepped –Tynemouth Food Festival is coming again! Tynemouth Food Festival will again be serving up a fabulous feast of gastronomic fare for the forth year running. We had our spectacular début in 2012 when more than 18,000 people descended on the picturesque seaside village just 10 miles from Newcastle over the course of the weekend. And this year it’s going to be bigger and better than before as we are back the beautiful grounds of English Heritage Tynemouth Priory and Castle.
Food lovers can expect a double-sized helping of tasty treats this year as this celebration of the region’s culinary heritage brings together even more local celebrity chefs and producers. There will be more than 50 local producer stalls, a “street food” area and chef demonstrations.Entertainment will be provided throughout the day including buskers and entertainment for our “younger festival goers” so bring along your shopping bags, baskets and an appetite for the best food and drink the North East has to offer as Tynemouth welcomes everything from artisan breads to cheeses, cakes, organic meats, pies, jams, gourmet chocolates, wine and local ales. Why not make a weekend of it and stay in one of the beautiful guest-houses on Front Street and take in the sights of Tynemouth’s sweeping coastline. Enjoy this historic village with its independent gift shops, boutiques, cafes, pubs, restaurants .and Tynemouth Station’s famous weekend market. The festival will take place in the historic Priory and Castle grounds.
