Several Directors stood down from the Board at the Annual General Meeting and I want to thank them for the enormous contribution that they have made to the success of our events. We need to find new people to join the organising team and work with us to take the Festival forward.
To find out more about what this involves please contact me on [email protected].

Whilst friendly, well-behaved dogs are allowed on the Park & Ride and at the Festival, it is highly recommended to leave your furry friends at home due to the volume of visitors and to save their little paws being trampled on! This is of course your decision, just our recommendation. If you have to bring your dog, please use a short lead and don't forget poo bags!

Everyone's safety is a priority at the Food Festival. Speak up if you see something that doesn't feel right.

❕Information on exhibitor bookings 2024❕

Bookings for May 2024 will not open.

Due to honouring bookings from the Festival that was cancelled in October, we are unable to open up for new bookings. We will be reopening bookings for May 2025 in December. Please keep an eye on Facebook/Instagram and the website as we are unable to send out reminders.

Alcester Food Festival was cancelled in October 2023. This was due to risks arising from Storm Babet. The Board has spent time to review the impact of having to cancel the event. The safety and well-being of everyone at our events will always be our first concern. Cancelling an event, however, also has a financial consequence.

Our goal is to generate money from the events we run. That money is distributed to good causes in our local community. The Alcester Food Festival has grown in stature over the years. It is now an important event in the annual calendar for Alcester. Our next event will be in May 2024.

Long term, the weather is changing with our climate. Stronger and more volatile weather events are occurring more frequently during autumn. The Board now considers the financial risk is too great to run our open air festival in October. We will not therefore be running an event in October 2024.

This decision affects our October event only. Alcester Food Festival will continue in May as usual.

David Henderson, Chairman
