11- 20 May 2012

The award-winning Christchurch Food & Wine Festival will be taking place from 11-20 May 2012 with a multitude of mouth-watering events in Christchurch's restaurants, pubs and hotels - from tasty Thai cuisine to fine food dining, including themed meals, demonstrations and foodie events.

The fabulous International Food Market takes place on the opening weekend on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 May with around 100 traders in the High Street selling an extensive range of quality food and drink and food and drink-related produce, and returning again this year will be the popular Italian Market in the cobbled area of Church Street.
And if you are aged between five and eleven years old, why not visit the Kids Kitchen in the Priory School, Wick Lane during the market weekend and enjoy food tastings, quizzes, competitions and cookery demonstrations. Tickets must be booked in advance at the Christchurch Information Centre, 49 High Street, Christchurch.

FREE demonstrations by celebrity and top local chefs in the Festival Marquee - details available soon.
