Aylsham Food Festival

The Festival in early October is a way of encouraging people to buy local, seasonal food and cook from fresh, as well as a celebration of local growers and food traders.

Patrick Prekopp, chair of Slow Food Aylsham, said: "Aylsham is fast establishing itself as a go-to town for food lovers with lots of new openings, including a cocktail bar and cafes over the last year, and a craft beer pub launches soon."

This three-day festival is organised by the not-for-profit group Slow Food Aylsham in collaboration with Cittaslow Aylsham, with most events in the town centre.

Long-time residents will know, but if you're new to the town, the festival, organised by Slow Food Aylsham with its sister organisation Cittaslow Aylsham, is a celebration of Norfolk's diverse and thriving food and drink scene. It's also one of the few market towns in Norfolk that can sustain two butchers, two bakers and a greengrocer in spite of three supermarkets, as well as two weekly markets, a Country Market every Friday and a monthly Food and Craft market.
