Markets behind the Guildhall in Berwick. The first of these will be on 22nd March

culminate in our Food Festival on 13th and 14th September when they will be held
in the Barracks Square.

Food Festival Meeting
Monday 23rd June 7pm
Gymnasium Gallery at Berwick Barracks
This is for anyone who wants to come. Basically we will be letting people know what
is happening over the period of the Food Festival and looking for volunteers to carry
out some of the jobs that need doing. None of these jobs are particularly onerous
and we are hoping to be able to offer food and drink as an enticement for those who
offer their services.
Refreshments will be served.

Berwick’s Food Heritage Project
This is an exciting project running over eighteen months to research links between
Berwick’s heritage and local food for which we have secured funding from the Heritage
Lottery Fund. Click here to read the press release we have issued which will give
you more information on this project.
Food Awards
We are working with Taste-T on developing a food award scheme which recognizes restaurants,
retailers and others who feature local produce. These awards will be presented at
our Food Festival. We hope to be able to use the information collected by this project
to publish directories of restaurants and retailers on this website For more information
