Regardless the drizzly day, we have been at the Foodies
Festival on Sunday. It is a food festival which happened between
26-28th June this year, and as a novelty, it has been held at the
beautiful Clifton Downs instead of the Harbourside.
As recommended by the organisers of the event, we took the bus to get to The
Downs, and our invitations were waiting for us at the ticket office right at the entrance. Two days earlier I was lucky enough to win a couple of day tickets in a competition at the blog A Life Less Organised, which I am very thankful for. ;)
I personally love food festivals because I love tasting free samples of... everything! Ginger beer, cheese, chocolate, chilli sauces, special oils an vinegars... Nonetheless, we also filled our shopping bags with some Ruby Mist cheese from the Snowdonia Cheese Company (one for £4; three for £11); chocolate from Sciolti Botanical Chocolates (£4), biscuits from The Sawley Kitchen (Offer! £1.50), although there were plenty of other tasty things we could have bought!
We stopped for lunch, which was a tasty rib-eye sandwich (£8) at BoyMeatsGrill and a glass of great wine (£4.50) at the Rioja stand, and continued with the route once our stomachs were full. There were many events for adults. I have been told that each ticket got you access to one of the events on each stage but on Sunday, probably because the weather was not in favour, there were many seats available except for the wine tasting event, which was very popular.

Nonetheless, it is not a festival for adults only. There were many activities for children as well. Starting from cookery classes to bouncy castles and slides, kinds can also have a lot of fun! However, only cookery classes were free: face painting for example cost £3.50, and the bouncy slide wasn’t free either (£1).
On our way out, we were given a set of freebies including a nice Stella Antois chalice, Chupa Chups bubble gum, a can of energy drink and some tea. Brilliant!
