THE FINAL touches are being added to the menu for this weekend’s Rugby Spring Food and Drink Festival.
The event returns to Regent Street on Saturday (April 25) from 11am to 5pm.
The free event, organised by Rugby Borough Council, will feature more than 50 food and drink stalls from local businesses, farms and producers, offering treats including hot-steamed dumplings, loaded tacos, churros and chocolate brownies.
The event will also offer traditional woodworking sessions, where skilled woodcarvers and turners will give residents the opportunity to have a go at wood turning, chiselling and carving spoons or spatulas.
Children can enjoy face painting, food art and an opportunity to test their knowledge with a food and drink quiz.
Local bands will provide a soundtrack to the event.
Tom Kittendorf, Rugby Borough Council’s Assistant Director for Leisure and Wellbeing, said: “As always, the event has proved very popular with stallholders and is now fully booked.
“The festival provides a great opportunity for local businesses and start-ups to showcase the excellent food offerings we have in Rugby and surrounding areas.
“Several thousand people are expected to attend the festival, which will have a significant impact on the town centre economy, through increased footfall and raising awareness of town centre businesses.”
