The “Dorset Knob Throwing and Frome Valley Food Fest” is being held in Cattistock on Sunday 2^rd May 2010. Once again Moores, the producers of the famous Dorset Knob

in association with Direct from Dorset and the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) partnership have agreed to assist us in supporting the event.
The Festival will run from 10am until 4.00pm and besides Knob Throwing there will be additional fun knob attractions including Knob Painting, a Knob & Spoon Race, Guess the weight of the Big Knob, Knob Darts and a Knob Pyramid. Free parking and other more traditional entertainment will be laid on to make this a really enjoyable day out with a difference.

The Frome Valley Food Fest will run along side the Knob Throwing. There will be a the opportunity to sample, taste and purchase a fine range of foods including breads, cheeses, ciders, meats game & poultry, pies, preserves, and puddings in addition to chocolate, coffee and wine supplied by well respected local businesses.

Last year, despite inclement weather, the inaugural event attracted around 1500 visitors with 34 local food producers taking stands. The response from these suppliers, participants in the Knob throwing, and visitors has been overwhelming and we are confident that even more people will take the opportunity to sample and taste some of the finest foods produced in the UK all available locally.
