Loughborough is staging a tasty food and drink market later this month featuring a range of producers and stall holders.
Representatives from Leicestershire County Council will also be spreading the ‘Love Food Hate Waste’ message at Loughborough English Food and Drink Festival on Sunday, October 23rd.
Organised by East Midlands Fine Foods on behalf of Charnwood Borough Council, the market offers the chance for shoppers to buy direct from stallholders who produce their own speciality items.
A wide range of food and drink will be available including bread and cakes, chutneys and curry sauces, pastries and puddings, mincemeat and macaroons.
The event, which runs in the Market Place from 10am to 4pm, will also feature children’s rides.
“This will be a great opportunity for shoppers to buy some really tasty products direct from those who are making them,” said Fiona Anderson, from East Midlands Fine Foods.
“We are also pleased that the Love Food Hate Waste team will be at the event, passing on useful tips to encourage less food waste.”
Councillor Paul Harley, Charnwood Borough Council’s Cabinet member for Leisure and Culture, said: “We’re delighted to welcome the food and drink festival to Charnwood and hope that residents and visitors take this opportunity to get their hands and taste buds on some unique produce.
“The Food and Drink Festival is a perfect way of not only giving residents something different to enjoy, but it also helps promote our Borough and attract visitors to help our local economy thrive.”
The October market is to be followed by a similar event in the run up to Christmas, with another Loughborough English Food and Drink Festival scheduled for Friday December 16th.
This will be the ideal opportunity to support local producers and opt for speciality food and drink items for the festive season, including gifts for foodies.

New food and drink festival seeks speciality food and drink producers
Speciality food and drink producers across England are being invited to take part in an exciting new food and drink festival launching in April.
The Loughborough English Food and Drink Festival will be held four times a year – starting with a two-day event on Easter Sunday and Monday, April 24th and 25th.
Run by regional food group East Midlands Fine Foods on behalf of Charnwood Borough Council, the event will feature a market packed with tasty goodies from across the country, bringing together the best traditional English produce from each region.
“Shoppers have a big appetite for regional food and drink, and Loughborough English Food and Drink Festival will bring together Britain’s love of traditional markets with the opportunity for people to buy some excellent regional products,” said East Midlands Fine Foods events co-ordinator Jo Taylor.
“Seasonal entertainment will be on offer, including cooking demonstrations, and we’re hoping to create a great family atmosphere on Easter Sunday and Monday. This is an excellent chance for producers from around the country to sell direct to the public in an area that’s renowned for its interest in all things foodie.
“It’s close to Melton Mowbray, the rural capital of food, and in an area of Leicestershire that’s home to many artisan producers.”
Now East Midlands Fine Foods is inviting applications from across the country from suitable producers who want to be part of the event, which will be staged in Loughborough’s Market Place and feature up to 150 stalls.
The organisation is hoping to recruit firms that produce and sell seasonal fruit and vegetables, speciality and rare breed meat including sausages, cakes, jams, pickles and chutneys, charcuterie, sweet and savoury pies and pastry products, dairy products including cheese, butter, yoghurt and ice-cream, confectionery, beers, wines and ciders, drinks including tea, coffee and soft drinks, plus any other artisan products.
The food and drink festivals are also being planned for June 26th and 27th, August 28th and 29th and October 23rd and 24th – with discounts available for stallholders who book for more than one market.
East Midlands Fine Foods, which is managed by regional business support organisation The Food and Drink Forum, supports speciality food and drink producers across the region.
In conjunction with Nottingham City Council, East Midlands Fine Foods has run the monthly two-day Regional and Speciality Food and Drink Market in Nottingham for almost four years.
