Hampton Court Palace Hosts The First BBC Good Food Festival 23-25th August 2014
River Street
Events and Historic Royal Palaces are delighted to announce the inaugural BBC
Good Food Festival at Hampton Court Palace.
Taking place
over the August Bank Holiday weekend, the Festival will be the perfect summer
treat, offering opportunities to sample the delights of the BBC Good Food
Festival while visiting the historic Palace and its glorious gardens. Packed
with producers and showcasing delicious food, drink and ingredients to try and
buy, visitors to the Festival can explore taster dishes from some of the finest
local restaurants or create the perfect summer picnic from a selection of
artisan creators. Some of the country’s most celebrated chefs will also be on
hand to give their top tips in the Summer Kitchen demonstrations.
In addition,
Historic Royal Palaces’s food historians will be preparing Georgian recipes in
the Palace’s historic kitchens, as part of Hampton Court’s Glorious Georges
season.
Laura Biggs,
Managing Director at River Street Events comments, “We are honoured and excited
to run the first BBC Good Food Festival in partnership with Hampton Court
Palace. The Palace is a beautiful
landmark and stunning backdrop for such an event. As a local business we know
the surrounding area really well which will help us understand and deliver the
local elements of the event as we intend to integrate local restaurants into
the festival. We look forward to the launch and hope for a long and successful
partnership with Hampton Court Palace.”
Nicolas
Brett, Director of UK Publishing at BBC Worldwide said, “Hampton Court Palace
is a wonderful venue and the BBC Good Food Festival gives us a unique
opportunity to showcase all that Good Food has to offer in an iconic British
setting.”
Paul Gray,
Palace Director for Hampton Court Palace added, “We’re delighted to be hosting
the BBC Good Food Festival at Hampton Court Palace. In its 500 year history the
palace has seen many a lavish feast prepared for kings and queens, but this is
the first time we have held a major food festival like this within the Palace
grounds. We are sure it will be a fun
filled day for all the family, and even better, kids go free!”
This is the
sixth BBC Good Food event that River Street Events have added to their growing
portfolio in 2014 following the announcement of a brand new Spring Show at the
Harrogate International Centre. These Shows join the original portfolio of
hugely successful exhibition centre shows in Glasgow, Birmingham and London.
