Celebrating yet another holiday weekend with family fun and feasting, the annual Easter Broadstairs Food Festival has so much to offer. This ever-popular independent community event brings together, and champions, local producers and culinary talent in a free 3-day bonanza of food and drink.
With its picturesque seafront setting, minutes from the town’s High street, the festival is one of the highlights in Kent’s food festival calendar, drawing visitors from across the county, and beyond, to revel in the abundant bounty of our ‘Garden of England’.
Kentish fine fare and artisan produce take pride of place at the event with over 100 stalls of ales, preserves, confectionery, cakes and pastries. There are several new faces from around Kent and locals such as Broadstairs based Pitcher’s Preserves with a mouthwatering array of pickles, chutney and honey joining first timers, Oyster Buoys of Ramsgate.
The festival marquee will have a full programme of entertainment, with loads of free-to-attend family sessions. There will be an opportunity to experience the craft of screen printing with local artist Molly Pickle Designs and to enjoy Dan Cooper’s gardening session.
Easter must mean bonnets and bunnies and the festival includes both. Sunday afternoon will be dedicated to making Easter crowns with visits from the Easter bunny throughout the day.
Local musicians will be performing on the bandstand on all three days. The bandstand café has plenty of seating so a good place for a foot tapping pot of tea or ice cream.
Additional events around the town are in hand and will be announced presently . Already confirmed are workshop sessions in Clarey’s Chocolate Boutique, High Street, and themed arts and crafts sessions with Tilly and her team, in The Old Curiosity Shop, Harbour Street. (Full details will be announced through social media and the festival website.)
