One of the best, new food and drink festivals in the country is held at one of the most beautiful country manors in the country.  Blenheim Palace Food Festival is the festival we are speaking of and as the name suggests, it is held at the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchhill and is the perfect way to spend a weekend with the whole family, enjoying the wide range of food on offer, the entertainment and games for all ages and many other interesting activities.

As well as being a celebration of the best of British produce, it also highlights some of the best dishes and ingredients from around the world.  This means that no matter how discerning or particular your palate is, you will be able to find something to have your taste buds dancing for joy.  Whether it is Spanish tapas, locally produced cheeses, freshly prepared wood-fired pizzas or flavoursome Vietnamese food, there really is something for everyone.  For those of you who consider yourselves to be a good cook, there will be live cooking demonstrations by experts what will get your creative juices flowing for your next culinary adventures at home and there will also be intriguing talks regarding fine-dining cooking tips for young and old and various other subjects.

We mentioned children and it’s fair to say that any you bring along will be spoilt for choice with activities they can participate in.  Arts and crafts, face painting, scavenger hunts, spoon decorating and “Little Kickers” football and so much more are all arranged with the young ones in mind.
