Food Connections, Bristol’s ambitious, citywide food festival (May 1 to May 9), has just revealed a jaw-dropping programme of over 100 events for 2015. All over Bristol, dozens of individuals, groups, organisations and businesses – united by their passion for good food – will come together to stage a food event unlike any other.
Supported by First Great Western, Food Connections is the flagship food event for Bristol 2015, European Green Capital. Now in its second year, having attracted around 185,000 participants in 2014, Food Connections aims to change how we think about food and how we eat by ‘Bringing people and good food together’. The programme of events is divided into six themes: land and growing, feasting and festivities, get cooking, brain food, families and wellbeing.
Celebrity chef Rick Stein, popular presenter Adrian Chiles, Celebrity MasterChef winner Lisa Faulkner and wildlife presenter and cameraman Mike Dilger are among the stars lined up by the BBC to appear at the festival. As part of the city-wide food celebration, the BBC will be hosting a number of different events celebrating the range of programmes made at its base in the city, including BBC Radio 4’s Farming Today, Costing the Earth, Word of Mouth and The Food Programme. All 11 sessions with the BBC will take place in the Imax Theatre at Bristol Aquarium, at the heart of the Festival, and tickets are free. Many of the events will be recorded for later broadcast on national BBC networks.
Take your pick from over 100 marvellous events from 1-9 May, ranging from a chat with the incredible Rick Stein, to feasts,food-talks, growing workshops and much more besides. This isn't your average food festival, it has exciting activities for everyone to discover what good food really means.
