23/03/12…..Two-year sponsorship deal guarantees Thame Food Festival future

THE organisations of the Thame Food Festival have received some fantastic news which means that the event can now definitely go ahead for Saturday, September 29, 2012.

Here’s the official announcement: “We are delighted to announce that headline sponsor McCormick Schwartz has agreed a two year sponsorship deal with Thame Food Festival that guarantees its future. It is a fabulous endorsement for this wonderful regional celebration of artisan local food and drink produce, local food producers and local food retailers.

The exciting list of mouth watering events and star names is now being finalized. Those already confirmed include ?Adam? and Kush from the BBC?s Very Hungry Frenchman, festival supporter Le Manoir aux Quat?Saisons’ chefs, Adam Simmonds of Danesfield House and keen festival regulars, Giancarlo and Katie Caldesi.

All will be performing demos in the festival kitchen. Please look out for big star names that will make this year?s event even bigger and better than last year.

The 2011 festival saw over 60 stall holders and crowds of 10-15,000 people packed into the centre of this beautiful historic market town, enjoying a fantastic free fun packed family day of food.

It is hoped that stall numbers will rise to 100 this year and that festival ambassador, Raymond Blanc, will be there in person. Festival Patron Lotte Duncan will be running a stall, judging competitions, running a demo and appearing everywhere she can!

This is going to be an amazing day that no true foodie will want to miss so put the date in your diary now.”

?Fabulous food fun?
Lotte Duncan, TV Chef, Writer & Broadcaster and Patron of Thame Food Festival
