 ‘Last year the atmosphere was incredible and it really was fun for all ages – tickets sold-out so I’d recommend buying them early, don’t miss out!’ added Jamie Oliver.

 

In between watching the experts in action, visitors can delve to new depths of culinary delight down ‘Street Food Alley’, tucking into an exciting menu of dishes featuring the best of the British street food scene. Highlights include Asian steamed buns from double award winning Yum Bun, mouthwatering meatballs from The Bowler and Napoli inspired street food from Pizza Pilgrims, with many more to be announced.

 

It’s not just about tasting great food, festival goers can get stuck in with a whole host of hands-on foodie features including the Electrolux Chefs’ Secrets Cooking Classes, the Weber BBQ Experience, The Table Sessions and of course, the return of Alex James’s very own Cheese Hub. What’s more, they can shop till they drop from an award winning selection of artisan producers and boutique brands.

 

Brand new for 2013, The Big Feastival is delighted to welcome TV personality and the nation’s favourite farmer Adam Henson with his incredible Cotswold Farm Park to the Little Dudes Den.  Furry and feathered friends aside, big kids and little ones will find fun and games galore with an action-packed family programme of activities including art and craft workshops, kids’ kitchen masterclasses, country fayre games, welly wanging, bubble shows, a vintage funfair and the return of our haystack mountain.

JAMIE OLIVER’S BETTER FOOD FOUNDATION

At the heart of The Big Feastival is the Better Food Foundation, with new fundraising initiatives for the charity constituting a key focus for the 2013 festival. Food is at the heart of everything the foundation does and it works in three main areas: in schools, where they educate children about the joys of growing and cooking fresh food; through the Fifteen Restaurant group, where they empower disengaged youngsters by training them for careers in the restaurant industry; and in communities, where their cooking centres inspire individuals to feed themselves better and make healthier, smarter food choices. www.jamieoliver.com/foundation
