Celebrate food and family fun at Budleigh Salterton Food and Drink Festival!

The Budleigh Food and Drink Festival is a great fun filled two day event which celebrates the best of East Devon food and drink. Our festival features REAL local and regional produce - from rare breeds of meat, hand harvested seaweeds and award winning handmade sweet treats, to local gin, real ale, cider and charcuterie, all produced and sold by people who really care about what they are doing. The festival has fun craft workshops and entertainment for children and families, lots of live music and of course cookery demonstrations focusing on local food, health and nutrition. A great community festival for the whole family to enjoy!

Some of the many things we had on offer during the 2017 festival weekend:

• Artisan market with great local food and drink
• Local Real Ale Festival
• NEW this year our ‘Living and Lifestyle’ marquee
• Live music on the Acoustic Stage during the day and The Afters Party Saturday evening with double headline acts; the highly acclaimed alternative/folk trio Wildwood Kin and Bloc off the Wall featuring Adam Isaac, with support from The Voice finalist Vince Freeman

• Children’s craft activities and entertainment including magic, music and mayhem with Nutty Noah, a puppet show from space and Mister Storyfella Clive Pig!
• A fun food trail around town
• Events in shops, restaurants and pubs in town
• Children’s bread baking competition and more!...

​Our East Devon bi-annual micro-festival has been going since 2013 and has grown into a real community event on everyone's calendar who has been lucky enough to have already experienced our warm welcome and great atmosphere at past events! We are fundraising in 2018, so the next festival will be during the Easter holidays of 2019.
