We are in the midst of a baking revolution: Shows like the BBC’s Great British Bake Off have led to a surge in popularity of all things cake and sugarcraft! This year the Home, Food & Drink Festival will welcome an eight-strong sugar craft demonstration team from Manchester. These lovely baking experts will be performing cake and sugarcraft demonstrations non-stop throughout the two-day show!
The local Keynsham and Saltford Sugarcraft Guild will also be performing demonstrations all day long. As it this isn’t enough of a treat, the Portishead Sugercraft Club will stage a sugary-sweet competition as well as running masterclasses for the duration of the festival.
In addition, local producers will be holding an array of contemporary food and drink masterclasses in the demonstration theatres. These will include sessions on butchery, bakery, cocktails, cheese and cider!
Food isn’t the only item on the agenda: Visitors will find a fantastic range of quality companies showcasing new and innovative ways to improve the home. Exhibitors will range from external security solutions, Devon Duvets (as sold in Harrods), water purification systems, garden gazebos and loft ladders!
Visitors to The Bristol Home, Food & Drink Festival will be able to browse, sample and experience the best exhibitors Bristol and the West has to offer such as Robert Welch Knives, Bramley & Gage liquors, Riverford Home Delivery and the Upton Cheyney Chilli Farm.
