A new event is coming to Essex this summer.

The Crouch Valley Festival of Food and Drink will take place in beautiful Riverside Park, Burnham-on-Crouch.

This FREE two-day event will celebrate the very best food and drink from the local area, with live music and entertainment, activities, competitions, family fun and of course tasty food and delicious drinks.

With so much to do, taste and discover visitors will be spoilt for choice, but perhaps it’s the festival’s location which will make it so special. On the banks of the River Crouch with views over to RSPB’s Wallasea Island, Riverside Park sits peacefully next to Burnham Marina and is only a short walk along the promenade to the historic maritime High Street and Quay. Burnham-on-Crouch is a hub of east coast sailing and visitors can expect to see plenty of boats making their way along the river.
