TRANSCRIPT
Welcome to this year’s Eat Cambridge festival, the annual fortnight of events
celebrating our delicious local food and drink scene. Eat Cambridge is now in its
fourth year and seems to be growing as quickly as the impressive independents,
chefs, and events that it aims to showcase and support.
This year we’re bringing you another jam-packed festival programme! On the
following pages, you’ll find details of the much-anticipated Eat Cambridge Main
Event, which kicks things off on Saturday 7 May. The huge food and drink fair
features a great line-up of hand-picked stallholders from our local area plus
interactive talks and workshops providing food for thought throughout the day.
You can also browse the festival fringe programme, which runs from Saturday 7 to
Sunday 22 May and is made up of exciting, one-off food and drink events hosted
by our sponsors, local independent businesses, restaurants, cafes, chefs, and
enterprising foodies. Take your pick from the ever-popular official Eat Cambridge
events like our street food night market, food debate, and chef demos, as well as a
whole host of other pop-ups, tasting menus, workshops, and family-friendly feasts.
See you there!

It’s been another hectic and exciting year of plotting, planning, collaborating, and
organising the festival – I hope you’ve enjoyed getting stuck into this year’s Eat
Cambridge as much as I have! Of course, Eat Cambridge wouldn’t be happening without
the fantastic support it has received from the local community. Thank you to every
stallholder, speaker, fringe event host, chef, venue, blogger, and food lover who got
involved along the way.
This year the festival has benefitted hugely from support and assistance from a fabulous
team of local independents. Massive thank yous are due to our Headline Sponsor
Burwash Manor, Festival Sponsors The Gog and Cambridge Live Trust, and our media
and broadcast partners Cambridge Edition and Cambridge 105. Working with such
supportive, enthusiastic, passionate, and generous organisations has been an absolute
pleasure.
Eat Cambridge owes a lot to a small gang of Festival Friends, too. We’ve worked with
Pint Shop to deliver fantastic fringe events which celebrate the local food scene. We’ve
received the most amazing new website and brochure design thanks to local foodie
design agency Rubber Cheese. We’ve spread the word even further with the help of
flyers, posters, and programmes printed by Minuteman Press. Thank you, friends!
A final, and important, thank you goes to some incredible people helping me out behind
the scenes. A team of volunteers has spent hours flyering, postering, endless social
media posting, proofreading, mucking in at events, and remaining calm and smiling at
all times! Special thanks go to Dr Sue Bailey for working on the Eat Cambridge Food
Debate and to Lyndsey Spellman for managing the talks at the Main Event.
Same time next year?
“Thank You!”
If you’d like to be involved next year, I’d love to hear
from you! Drop me a line...
