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, the event attracted
around 5000 visitors with 50 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.
Cattistock
lies midway between Dorchester and Yeovil and the event will be held in
the centre of this picturesque village. (Link
to Village map) The aim is to raise much needed funds for 4
village organisations (the Cricket Club, the Football Club, the Playing
Fields and the Savill Hall) who are coming together to organise the
event.
